Gausón tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination. The following players had been chosen: De Aragón - Phillips, MacBarra, Shirley, Frame - Sá, Sheard, Federmann, Satter, Vatter - Abu-Saleh.

For their match strategy, Gausón had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. Asinine created a good opportunity to score 8 minutes into the match when S. Warchoł's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. With the clock showing 9 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of Gausón resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by C. Vatter in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. Clever play that showed his experience gave A. Sá a good chance to score, but the shot hit the crossbar. After a fine move down the middle A. Blackman nearly gave the home side a goal after 18 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. Asinine had a chance to take the lead after C. Farneti's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 23 minutes. Some great play up the middle by Asinine led to a chance for M. Dlabač to score after 38 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. Gausón had to make a substitution after 39 minutes. W. Phillips limped off the field and was replaced by J. Rigby. J. Étienne sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from J. Rainamo after 41 minutes of play, making the score 1 - 0. 42 minutes in, Gausón's Q. Federmann received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. 1 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Asinine, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.

T. Hiltz left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 46 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. M. Rohleder was the replacement. Asinine's J. Rainamo struck his penalty well enough to beat the goalkeeper and extend the home team's lead to 2 - 0 after 52 minutes. After 57 minutes, J. Étienne put Asinine ahead 3 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. Gausón breathed new life into the game with an opportunity to reduce the score after 69 minutes, but the home side's defenders cleared the ball on the line, after a long shot coming in from the left rebounded off the crossbar. Asinine had most of the ball, with 59 percent of possession.

I. Shovkovskiy performed admirably for Asinine. C. Farneti was a disappointment, however. Gausón's best player was S. Satter. On the other hand, L. De Aragón's play was disheartening. The match ends 3 - 0.
