TheDODO tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: de Waard - Franci, Malakian, Raming, Ņukša - Adelman, Lusink, Almibar, Finders - Schröder, van den Brakel.

TheDODO's R. Franci left the field after 24 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was U. Páez. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to D. Fernández, but the ZTP player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! H. Hume, who often relies on his speed, had a rotten day on the drenched grass. 41 minutes into the match the visitors levelled the score at 1 - 1 as U. Páez struck home from a rebound off the crossbar, following a shot from the right. The visitors grabbed the lead after O. Ņukša's free kick succeeded, resulting in a score of 1 - 2. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 2. Possession in this half belonged to ZTP, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

The visitors' P. Almibar took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 52 minutes into the match. 1 - 3 for TheDODO. A marvellous ZTP effort on the right-hand side resulted in a goal after 70 minutes by M. Buzov, making the score 2 - 3. After 85 minutes, D. Fernández made a dash down the middle past the away team's defenders to score the goal that made it 3 - 3. ZTP claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 52 percent.

ZTP's top performer was clearly M. Buzov. N. Grekas on the other hand, had a terrible day. J. van den Brakel performed admirably for TheDODO. U. Raming was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 3.
