Clear skies welcomed the 1015 spectators who had made their way to Pool_FC Arena. Tim Nessel was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Aleksander Błachut and Máicon Mezenga. Pool_FC had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Ngubase - Olsson, Simonsson, Persson - Svensson, Jordanovski, Filiposki, Säfborn, Johansson - Hansson, Ragnarsson.

Red Devils decided to use a 2-3-3 set up. The following players took the field: Miccoli - Bakanay, Güller - Serneels, Sahlsten, Ahlskär - Schiedek, Marcusson, Saarinen.

The wings were the focus of most of Pool_FC's attacks today. Pool_FC broke through on the left 4 minutes into the game, with T. Ragnarsson firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. 9 minutes into the game, Red Devils seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a inadequate level of organisation. The score became 2 - 0 at 16 minutes into the game, when Pool_FC were given a penalty which B. Filiposki blasted straight down the middle giving the keeper no chance! With 28 minutes played, S. Simonsson of Pool_FC fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Unsportsmanlike behaviour by S. Simonsson rendered him his second booking of the match, and Pool_FC had to finish the game with a reduced squad. Given a free kick close to the byline, Pool_FC tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let U. Hansson slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 3 - 0, 41 minutes into the game. Pool_FC's T. Ragnarsson increased the lead to 4 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 42 minutes. Pool_FC put themselves up 5 - 0 when K. Olsson broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. By now, the players in Pool_FC felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. 5 - 0 was the halftime score. Pool_FC enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 81 percent of possession.

A review of the gameplan helped Red Devils get back to a solid organisation when the referee blew his whistle again. Players in Pool_FC heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. K. Olsson unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Pool_FC to 6 - 0 as K. Olsson finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. Pool_FC's A. Johansson saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 86 minutes. A. Persson increased the lead for Pool_FC to 7 - 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! Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Pool_FC, with 81 percent of the ball.

V. Säfborn performed admirably for Pool_FC. However, A. Persson made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Red Devils player was without a doubt A. Marcusson. On the other hand, C. Miccoli's play was disheartening. The match ends 7 - 0.
