It was an obvious ambition of mancos to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. 0 - 1 was the score with 21 minutes played, after M. Lehr cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for mancos. P. Zuffo behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 25 minutes as he gave the ball away to A. Răileanu. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. After 28 minutes, S. Maye got through on the right and was very close to equalising for the home side, but didn't get the shot away. Due to some great work on the right wing BasetTeam's K. Harsányi was able to even the score after 34 minutes to make the score 1 - 1. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to BasetTeam, who controlled the ball 64 percent of the time.

BasetTeam took the lead 73 minutes into the game by 2 - 1, as O. Mariola elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. R. Gentlich squirmed through their central defence after 76 minutes, increasing the lead to 3 - 1. There was concern in the stands when, at the 79 minute mark, mancos's G. Duponchelle hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. The game was characterised by rough play and many physical challenges on the wet field, but L. Guedes showed great heart and had a good game. BasetTeam's R. Sackersdorff saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 82 minutes. BasetTeam claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 66 percent.

The most dominating BasetTeam player was without a doubt S. Maye. R. Sackersdorff on the other hand, had a terrible day. mancos's best player was L. Darwinkel. On the other hand, S. Vermeylen's play was disheartening. The match ends 3 - 1.
