The following players had been chosen: Lemnitskiy - Roze, Kalniņš, Tenis, Zārds, Krūziņš - Liepiņš, Stikāns, Kraulis - Delcourt, Drange.

"Drillētājs" had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. They fielded: Martínez Marín - Vilciņš, Mondolin, Kluck - Aizstrauts, Hasperhoven, Trulāns, Ernštreits - Putāns, Zvaigzne, Karadağ.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Buccaneers. Buccaneers's A. Kalniņš tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. Buccaneers took the lead 13 minutes into the game by 1 - 0, as L. Drange elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. Buccaneers's U. Delcourt increased the lead to 2 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 18 minutes. Buccaneers's M. Roze swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. "Drillētājs"'s I. Trulāns was shown a yellow card after 38 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Buccaneers were forced into a substitution as M. Roze couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing O. Bochkur to come in off the bench. It was 2 - 0 at the break. Buccaneers enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 68 percent of possession.

Buccaneers put themselves up 3 - 0 when U. Delcourt broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. Buccaneers were able to draw a foul with their counterattacks, but the shot from L. Drange went into the arms of the keeper. J. Zārds hit the corner kick straight to the keeper, but it was mishandled, giving Buccaneers's O. Bochkur an easy chance to knock it in for 4 - 0. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. L. Drange squirmed through their central defence after 61 minutes, increasing the lead to 5 - 0. Confident in their lead, Buccaneers's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. 67 minutes in, Buccaneers's A. Krūziņš received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. E. Karadağ's knee will be throbbing for days, but thankfully for "Drillētājs", he bravely continued in the match. Buccaneers solidified their lead at the 74 minute mark, as L. Drange dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 6 - 0. This third goal completed a hattrick for L. Drange. Coming from the right, A. Kraulis almost managed to score another goal for Buccaneers, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Buccaneers, with 69 percent of the ball.

Buccaneers's best player was A. Krūziņš. O. Bochkur on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating "Drillētājs" player was without a doubt E. Putāns. On the other hand, Ó. Martínez Marín's play was disheartening. The match ends 6 - 0.
