Devils 0 - 8 Star (378175056)

4746 punters turned up at Todd Miller Coliseum, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Martí Casal was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Arnoud de Graaf and Jozef Šterbavý. Devils started off with a 4-3-3 lineup. Starters: Vincent - Hatton, Tyler, Blair, Huddleston - Baron, Gary, Castillo - Rousseau, Gordon, Blair.

Star decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Munegato - Ryzhkov, Kreienbühl, Figueroa - Forchhammer, Flensburger, Jiménez, Ardistio, Nanclares - Pszeniczna, Loaeza.

Star's J. Jiménez gave the visitors a 0 - 1 lead after 3 minutes with a superb strike from the right. After 13 minutes, Star's G. Nanclares burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. A. Flensburger received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 23 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 3. The Star fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. The home crowd was not impressed when A. Flensburger came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 26 minutes. Star were now up 0 - 4. Confident in their lead, Star's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. After 27 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed J. Loaeza to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 5. Halftime score was 0 - 5. Possession in this half belonged to Star, who controlled the ball 74 percent of the time.

With 57 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed A. Forchhammer of Star to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 6. A drive down the left side allowed A. Flensburger to get in close and score another goal for Star after 59 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 7. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for A. Flensburger. 76 minutes in, Devils appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only inadequate. K. Pszeniczna of Star took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 80 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 8. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Star, with 78 percent of the ball.

H. Castillo performed admirably for Devils. B. Tyler on the other hand, had a terrible day. Star's best player was H. Kreienbühl. On the other hand, C. Figueroa's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 8.
