Argentinios tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players took the field: Pernigotti - Granata, Mott, Fekete - Travner, Koschlau, Schößler, Detlefsen, Mera - Syrůček, Valdés.

T. Austnes of Boys06 received a yellow card after 3 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Slack defending gave Boys06 a chance to take the lead with 11 minutes played, but V. Fuentes Foz's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. The guests almost went up by a goal after 26 minutes when C. Mera came through and shot from the right. The ball bounced harmlessly off the post, though. At 27 minutes played, J. Arana came in from the right with the intention of giving Boys06 the lead, but his rocket of a shot rattled the crossbar. Boys06 took the lead after 33 minutes as a result of T. Nascimento's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. Boys06 solidified their lead at the 35 minute mark, as V. Fuentes Foz dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 2 - 0. 2 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Boys06, who controlled the ball 62 percent of the time.

Boys06's J. Arana got himself booked for a foul. Boys06's J. Arana increased the lead to 3 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 77 minutes. 81 minutes in, Boys06's A. Dreimanis received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. J. Nylec was called on to replace Argentinios's N. Travner after 84 minutes following a nasty collision. D. Valdés was the new captain of Argentinios - handed the armband by the departing player. A. Dreimanis should probably have put his team up another goal after 85 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by A. Pernigotti kept the visitors in the game. Morale on the visitors' bench was greatly improved when their J. Nylec reduced the lead to make it 3 - 1 after 87 minutes, following a pass from the right. Cheers filled the stadium as T. Nascimento broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 4 - 1 to Boys06. After 89 minutes, Boys06 sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached T. Nascimento, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 5 - 1. By then T. Nascimento had scored three goals - a hat trick! Boys06 claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 65 percent.

Boys06's top performer was clearly A. Dreimanis. A. Upenieks was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Argentinios player was without a doubt V. Syrůček. J. Nylec on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 5 - 1.
