The home side put themselves ahead 1 - 0 after 4 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from P. Knudsen, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. Coming through the middle D. Abbas almost scored the equaliser for Rodskov after 14 minutes, but A. Matussin made an excellent save, tipping the awkwardly curled shot past the post. A cross coming in on the right hand side left K. Therkildsen alone in front of the goal after 16 minutes but his shot was woeful. 1 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Bryggen, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

W. Reh tried using a burst of speed to get past his defender after 59 minutes, but it takes more than that to get past fast C. Mayorquín. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Bryggen scored another to make it 2 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for A. Ruzau after 61 minutes. The Bryggen coach was visibly pleased with the score so far, but still ordered a few tactical changes 61 minutes into the game. In the lead, Bryggen adjusted their style of play with 61 minutes gone. After 61 minutes, the Bryggen players received new instructions from their manager on how to keep in control of the game. P. Knudsen left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 61 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. A. Huttinger was the replacement. After a short break after 61 minutes, Bryggen seemed to change their tactical approach a bit. The bench was restless, and with 87 minutes passed Rodskov's coach gave I. Nica the opportunity the player had been hoping for. E. Dadaev reluctantly left the field. Rodskov needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 88 minutes D. Grimm made way for B. Roen. After 89 minutes, Rodskov switched F. Bøgelund with P. Ulfhall, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. Bryggen had most of the ball, with 53 percent of possession.

Most important Bryggen player was J. Raun. M. Małecki turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating Rodskov player was without a doubt D. Abbas. P. Ulfhall on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 0.
