Ørding mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. The home crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief when P. Panopoulos was unable to put the ball in the net after his show of skill down the left 3 minutes into the match. He was seen beating the pitch in frustration at missing such a good chance to give his team the lead! 4 minutes into the game, M. Parvin was a hair's breadth away from giving krasnik the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by O. Kucheruk saved the home team that time. With 9 minutes played, V. Catalfamo of Ørding fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. A penalty was given after 12 minutes, allowing the visitors to gain the lead: 0 - 1. E. Schierstädt was the scorer. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to krasnik, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

With 58 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, J. Curth needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. krasnik increased their lead after 59 minutes when M. Cizarić broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 2, much to the home crowd's dismay. With 63 minutes played, krasnik put themselves up 0 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was M. Parvin. Confident in their lead, krasnik's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. G. Senesi's speed is always a threat when he gets a little room to move, and 67 minutes into the match was no different as he broke free of his man to send a delightful through ball to F. Reichart who knocked it in for krasnik. 0 - 4! After 70 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed D. Blagojević to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 5. A late sliding challenge from V. Catalfamo was deemed to be his second yellow card offence by the referee, resulting in him being sent off, and Ørding left a man down. As the captain was no longer on the pitch, H. Petersen took over the role of being the Ørding captain. M. Cizarić of krasnik had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. M. Egelund came in to finish the match. Ørding's S. Rodbeck had a nice free kick routine after 76 minutes that was very close to paying off, had it not been for a dramatic save by the visitors' keeper. Ørding's K. Gianotten got himself booked for a foul. F. Reichart of krasnik took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 79 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 6. krasnik claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 63 percent.

Ørding's best player was T. Partanen. On the other hand, J. Curth's play was disheartening. Most important krasnik player was P. Panopoulos. M. Parvin turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 6.
