N. Sfoliatas gave rollez 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 With 23 minutes played, rollez put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to H. Hansal, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. H. Blankenborn of rollez received a yellow card after 24 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. With 28 minutes played, C. Hânciu of RUANNEGRO fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. rollez's H. Hansal was shown a yellow card after 31 minutes for slicing down an opponent. RUANNEGRO's right side looked dangerous after 33 minutes, as C. Pinţea broke through. M. Reyher continued to stifle them, however, as he made the save look easy. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. rollez had most of the ball, with 71 percent of possession.

With 60 minutes played, the RUANNEGRO coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. A. Aretio came on, A. Grimaldo had to leave the fray. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, RUANNEGRO's C. Pinţea was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 60 minutes. G. Mendes was given a chance to change things around. 63 minutes into the match RUANNEGRO's A. Jarabo head butted an opponent nastily, and so the referee sent him off immediately. Unfortunately for rollez, H. Hansal was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. P. Blocks replaced him. After 65 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and T. Flis gave the rollez supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 3 - 0. RUANNEGRO needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 68 minutes C. Hânciu made way for K. Uphoff. The game was close to savage at times, and rollez's H. Blankenborn received a second yellow card after 80 minutes; his ticket out of the game. There was no way RUANNEGRO's A. Aretio could continue to play after this, and no replacements were available! Coming from the right, M. Junaid almost managed to score another goal for rollez, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. Always a threat, I. Castellano tore past his marker and placed the ball right at the feet of the waiting R. Prados who should have easily scored for RUANNEGRO, but the ball went wide. H. Gödert left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 84 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. P. Holzapfl was the replacement. Cheers filled the stadium as P. Blocks broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 4 - 0 to rollez. P. Blocks increased the lead for rollez to 5 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! At this point, it was obvious that the players of rollez lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. rollez claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 81 percent.

rollez's best player was T. Flis. On the other hand, N. Sfoliatas's play was disheartening. I. Castellano performed admirably for RUANNEGRO. However, C. Nereira made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 5 - 0.
