Nogier managed to lose the defenders as he advanced down the right wing and scored, putting the visitors ahead after 11 minutes. 0 - 1. Andres's P. Sammalinen left the field after 25 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was O. Cederholt. 29 minutes into the game a free kick by W.

At this time in the match, Andres were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 2. Andres had most of the ball, with 62 percent of possession.

As usual, K. Simmons tried to use his strength and hard work for the benefit of the team, but the heat hit him hard and he couldn't keep pace at all. After 61 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed G. Gago to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 3. 62 minutes into the game, A. Zecchin had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came N. Zervidis. The referee showed Andres's V. Pietronero the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. The visitors' I. Künster took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 71 minutes into the match. 0 - 4 for Andres. After this, you could see that the players of Andres were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. V. Tapin of levski was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Several players seemed a little dazed by the warm weather, and were repeatedly tricked by the clever and agile T. Trường. The pressing tactics used by Andres were successful as the ball remained close to the half way line at all times. There was concern in the stands when, at the 83 minute mark, levski's F. Spear hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Andres, with 65 percent of the ball.

levski's best player was Q. Jouanin. On the other hand, K. Simmons's play was disheartening. Most important Andres player was I. Künster. L. Kövesi on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 4.
