Polesello kept the visitors in the game. The referee showed TENIS's C. Donini the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Coming through the middle P. Buranawijit almost scored the equaliser for TENIS after 44 minutes, but D. Yañez made an excellent save, tipping the awkwardly curled shot past the post. It was 1 - 0 at the break.

D. de Castro left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 46 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. G. Gabor was the replacement. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 54 minutes, fall3n did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, R. Manjárrez was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 2 - 0. When T. Brădean made yet another studs-first tackle after 61 minutes, the referee was obliged to book the fall3n player for the second time, sending him off the pitch. P. Køngerskov of TENIS had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. A. Riddler came in to finish the match. Cheers filled the stadium as G. Gabor broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 3 - 0 to fall3n. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in fall3n's I. Vecsei increasing the lead to 4 - 0. The crowd roared its approval when D. Yañez somehow managed to block a shot which seemed to be a certain goal by TENIS's C. Poppensieker 84 minutes into the game. fall3n's M. De La Flor left the field after 87 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was F. Prună. The fall3n players could smell victory in the air. R. Manjárrez wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for C. Carlos after 88 minutes. Possession in this half belonged to TENIS, who controlled the ball 56 percent of the time.

fall3n's top performer was clearly I. Vecsei. C. Carlos on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating TENIS player was without a doubt F. Heltborg. However, C. Donini made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 0.
