Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of CaZaRReCoMPeNSaS. It was obvious that U.B.H were using their pressing skill as their primary tactic. J. Portabales gave the visitors the lead 23 minutes into the match to make it 0 - 1. The goal was scored from the penalty spot after a handball in the penalty area. U.B.H had to manage with a reduced squad after 29 minutes, as F. Csizmazia got sent off for a needless foul away from the game's action. The pressing tactics used by U.B.H were successful as the ball remained close to the half way line at all times. Halftime score was 0 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to U.B.H, who controlled the ball 61 percent of the time.

CaZaRReCoMPeNSaS had a great opportunity to score following a counterattack after 52 minutes, but A. Ramovi's shot from the left sailed high over the bar. 60 minutes into the game, F. Barten finished off a CaZaRReCoMPeNSaS left wing counterattack, making the score 1 - 1. CaZaRReCoMPeNSaS had a good opportunity to take the lead as S. Tautvaišas came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of G. Nepiypivo. CaZaRReCoMPeNSaS's M. Balázs was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 68 minutes. This was a good period for the visitors, with several opportunities to take the lead, particularly when S. Montero slipped through the defence on the right to come up alone against E. Bordelle, but the home side's keeper showed his lightning reflexes. In the 73 minute, CaZaRReCoMPeNSaS were awarded a free kick as their counter attack dried up. The ball was sent in high over the penalty box and, in what looked like a well-rehearsed move, it was headed backwards to reach R. Goeman, who placed it into the net with a single touch. 2 - 1. U.B.H had most of the ball, with 60 percent of possession.

Most important CaZaRReCoMPeNSaS player was F. Barten. E. Bordelle on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating U.B.H player was without a doubt A. Piikki. On the other hand, G. Nepiypivo's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 1.
