furita had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: Sammalvuori - Ronfolaturro, Arthur, Damoiseau - Plenborg, Moreno Clérigo, Röll, 凯信 (Kaixin), 豪卫 (Haowei) - Gaspard, Baumgartner.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Rosamela. furita took the lead after 8 minutes making the score 0 - 1. S. Baumgartner placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave M. Giménez Arnau from Rosamela a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 12 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! T. Tjäderborg earned a rousing chorus of cheers from his fans as he seemed to come out of nowhere after 22 minutes to intercept the ball and put it in the back of the net for Rosamela. 1 - 1. After 32 minutes, furita's S. Baumgartner made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 1 - 2. After 39 minutes, furita's M. Moreno Clérigo fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! 39 minutes in, Rosamela's M. Rädke received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. furita's O. Plenborg went down after a savage challenge, but could continue playing after some medical attention. The home crowd was not impressed when G. Ronfolaturro came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 42 minutes. furita were now up 1 - 3. Halftime score was 1 - 3. furita had most of the ball, with 67 percent of possession.

施. 豪卫 (Haowei) was, after 47 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 I. Tornamira made the save. S. Baumgartner's lightning pace was too much for E. van Witsen who could only look on as the furita player blasted one home. 1 - 4. That made three goals for S. Baumgartner and he was marked down for the hat trick. After 77 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave L. Damoiseau a chance to increase the lead for furita, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 1 - 5. By now, the players in furita felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. A drive down the left side allowed J. Gaspard to get in close and score another goal for furita after 82 minutes, taking the score to 1 - 6. After the ball was lifted in from the left, J. Gaspard was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 84 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. furita claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 67 percent.

Most important Rosamela player was P. Abeixón. However, I. Tornamira made a disastrous appearance. furita's top performer was clearly J. Gaspard. O. Plenborg was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 6.
