Anarchy tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. The following players took the field: Miezītis - Shukatka, Lombardo, Lulle, Viesulis - Tarunin, Naskovich, Aarela, Bendziks - Šiškovičs, Korotkikh.

The most controversial moment of the game was likely the penalty given after 5 minutes. Anarchy's A. Viesulis kept his concentration, despite the upset crowd, and calmly put the ball past the keeper to make the score 0 - 1. A drive down the left side allowed A. Naskovich to get in close and score another goal for Anarchy after 12 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 2. After 15 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for A. Šiškovičs who increased Anarchy's lead to 0 - 3. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 3. Possession in this half belonged to Anarchy, who controlled the ball 65 percent of the time.

P. Aarela behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 53 minutes as he gave the ball away to J. Sveilis. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. K. Lulle was, after 54 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper D. Makalovich made the save. The visitors' K. Korotkikh took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 57 minutes into the match. 0 - 4 for Anarchy. The players of Anarchy now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. Anarchy increased their lead after 71 minutes when A. Šiškovičs broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 5, much to the home crowd's dismay. Melnais's A. Veinbergs got himself booked for a foul. After 76 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed O. Lombardo to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 6. Anarchy enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 76 percent of possession.

The most dominating Melnais player was without a doubt S. Freidis. However, A. Veinbergs made a disastrous appearance. Most important Anarchy player was K. Korotkikh. On the other hand, O. Lombardo's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 6.
