For their match strategy, Alianza had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. Tipi-Team used their skill at pressing to cut off the attack angles of their opponents all over the field. With 10 minutes played L. Mignot almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. T. Korkeamäki of Tipi-Team received a yellow card after 20 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. The head of V. Zamfir connected with a corner kick after 24 minutes, and the ball ended up with L. Mignot of Alianza who blasted the ball into the net, making the score 1 - 0. Tipi-Team's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. Alianza's Á. Díaz increased the lead to 2 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 43 minutes. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. Alianza had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

After 47 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and F. Basile gave the Alianza supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 3 - 0. Confident in their lead, Alianza's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. With 50 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, S. Jardon needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. Good work by the Tipi-Team defensive line after 60 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found J. Fabry alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. Alianza claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 61 percent.

Alianza's best player was R. Sabia. G. Mejia on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Tipi-Team player was without a doubt A. Muurainen. On the other hand, V. Sillgren's play was disheartening. The match ends 3 - 0.
