Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Berbicacho Stadium saw a crowd turnout of 6341. Ricardo Cantón was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jordan Leprevost and Ben Joshua Faller. Berbicachotes had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. The following players had been chosen: Herrera - Esteves Silva, 茨隴 (Cilong) , Ortega - Palmira, Rodrigues Barata, Drewing, Foray - Aksöğüt, Andrade, Kofoed.

štepanc started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Koturović - Viler, Borms, Ivanschitz - Vivod, Golob, Gaudin, Nielsen, Weemhoff - Widner, Vetršek.

Berbicachotes mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. D. Andrade gave Berbicachotes the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 A. Kofoed of Berbicachotes received a yellow card after 21 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. In an effort to secure the lead, Berbicachotes changed their tactic after 35 minutes. 1 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by štepanc, with 51 percent of the ball.

štepanc had a chance to level the score as A. Vetršek suddenly found himself free in the middle of the box with only the keeper to beat, but he misjudged the finish, and only managed to hit the bar. With 57 minutes played, 謝. 茨隴 (Cilong) of Berbicachotes fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. štepanc's right side looked dangerous 67 minutes in, but E. Herrera made a good save on N. Viler's hard shot to the top corner. After 69 minutes, Berbicachotes were awarded a free kick. Rather than shooting straight at goal, the taker went for an indirect variant which seemed to take his team mates a bit by surprise. J. Esteves Silva did attempt a finish, but from an awkward position, sending the ball into the away fans. After 70 minutes, the Berbicachotes players received new instructions from their manager on how to keep in control of the game. N. Viler tied the game at 1 - 1 after 73 minutes, when he converted an incredible pass from the right. This part of the game was a standoff between the teams in terms of possession.

With the scores being level after 90 minutes, the match went into extra time. At 96 minutes played, A. Kofoed came in from the right with the intention of giving Berbicachotes the lead, but his rocket of a shot rattled the crossbar. 104 minutes in, Berbicachotes's J. Esteves Silva received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. K. Nielsen was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so štepanc's T. Koskimies had to come off the bench. There was still no winner after 30 minutes of extra time so the teams had to select a lineup for a penalty shoot-out to settle the result.

Berbicachotes's T. Aksöğüt coolly put the ball past N. Koturović. 2 - 1. štepanc's M. Golob didn't look like he was confident as he stepped up, and produced a badly struck penalty - right into the arms of E. Herrera. The score remained 2 - 1. Berbicachotes's 謝. 茨隴 (Cilong) made no mistake. N. Koturović didn't have a chance. 3 - 1. štepanc's A. Widner looked nervous even as he was putting the ball on the spot. He didn't take much of a run up, and his weak shot was easily saved by the keeper. Berbicachotes's A. Palmira looked like he knew exactly where he wanted to put the ball, but unfortunately his shot went wide of the left hand post. Still 3 - 1. Oooh - how unlucky! štepanc's Z. Vivod attempt hit the underside of the bar, but rebounded down into the grateful arms of E. Herrera. The score stays 3 - 1. Berbicachotes's M. Drewing was relaxed as he smoothly put the ball in the net. 4 - 1! štepanc's P. Ivanschitz showed he has nerves of steel when it comes to penalties, easily changing the score to 4 - 2. Berbicachotes's B. Foray didn't hesitate but N. Koturović managed the save, resulting in an unchanged 4 - 2 score. Clearly nervous from the start, štepanc's N. Viler took a long run up, but could only blast the ball over the bar. The score remains 4 - 2. The most dominating Berbicachotes player was without a doubt A. Kofoed. B. Foray on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important štepanc player was L. Borms. G. Gaudin turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 4 - 2.
