2609 spectators arrived at Kick Ass Park, where weather conditions were pretty good for football.

The following players had been chosen: Díaz - Astrup, Zargar, Tylicki, Dormois - Fatouros, Jelkić, Premoli - Dascãlu, Scheurwater, Seitzer.

Beckomberga started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup: Ulfsson - Lundgren, Edentorp, Mollind - Flamholt, Seco, Konečný, D'Hoore, Stridin - Pettersson, Richardsson.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Zacatecas. M. Mollind behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 11 minutes as he gave the ball away to K. Fatouros. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. After some beautiful movement down the left wing, S. Zargar scored for Zacatecas putting them ahead 1 - 0, after 13 minutes. Beckomberga's P. D'Hoore was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 17 minutes. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. K. Fatouros squirmed through their central defence after 23 minutes, increasing the lead to 2 - 0. Zacatecas managed to extend their lead to 3 - 0 when J. Scheurwater cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. After this, you could see that the players of Zacatecas were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. 39 minutes into the game, Beckomberga had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to passable. The referee showed Beckomberga's K. Edentorp the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. C. Vad was called on to replace Zacatecas's M. Dascãlu after 41 minutes following a nasty collision. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Zacatecas to 4 - 0 as S. Zargar finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. 43 minutes into the match, Zacatecas's K. Fatouros demonstrated his famed speed as he raced past his marker and passed the ball to J. Scheurwater who chipped it in for 5 - 0. 44 minutes into the game, Beckomberga seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to weak. 5 - 0 was the halftime score. Zacatecas had most of the ball, with 64 percent of possession.

During the break, Beckomberga's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to passable organisation. Zacatecas increased the lead as S. Seitzer struck to make the score 6 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. 66 minutes in, Beckomberga appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only passable. With 74 minutes played, Zacatecas put themselves up 7 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to C. Astrup, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. 82 minutes into the game, Beckomberga seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a weak level of organisation. Zacatecas's K. Fatouros increased the lead to 8 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 86 minutes. Zacatecas enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 72 percent of possession.

Zacatecas's top performer was clearly K. Fatouros. M. Díaz turned in a dismal performance, however. M. Mollind performed admirably for Beckomberga. However, A. Lundgren made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 8 - 0.
