A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Racers. Lineup: Dirckx - Münzberg, Kleinlinden, Pastor - Kozar, Makurin, Coda, Sundlund, van Thijn - Munsech, Zurita.

Racers were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 2 minutes, yorch did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, T. Ødegård was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 1 - 0. P. Makurin spent most of the time in a heap on the ground today, his normally rapid movement hindered by the slippery pitch. After 12 minutes, yorch's M. Mörnsten fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! Things were going to get worse for the visitors. J. Jalvanti squirmed through their central defence after 18 minutes, increasing the lead to 2 - 0. A. Pastor of Racers received a yellow card after 25 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. After 28 minutes Racers's A. Pastor limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. Racers breathed new life into the game with an opportunity to reduce the score after 33 minutes, but the home side's defenders cleared the ball on the line, after a long shot coming in from the left rebounded off the crossbar. Halftime score was 2 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to yorch, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

After 46 minutes, Racers switched D. Zurita with M. Laudani, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, A. Robledales got himself booked. The manager of yorch was not happy. Things were deteriorating for the away team as yorch scored another to make it 3 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for E. Izubejeres after 58 minutes. P. Sundlund was uncomfortable with the soggy pitch as he couldn't move the ball around with his usual grace. M. Buerman should probably have put his team up another goal after 64 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by T. Dirckx kept the visitors in the game. yorch's J. Jalvanti saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 68 minutes. After a short break after 70 minutes, yorch seemed to change their tactical approach a bit. In an effort to secure the lead, yorch changed their tactic after 75 minutes. yorch claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 53 percent.

Most important yorch player was A. Anysio. D. Haye was a disappointment, however. Racers's top performer was clearly M. Munsech. On the other hand, A. Pastor's play was disheartening. The match ends 3 - 0.
