Kbel had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. They fielded: Pata - Pastoors, Pavilavičius, Krogsdal, Holaň - Bleuzet, Bliznyuk, Heidemann, Bejdák - Barthez, Gaube.

CONDOM started off with a 2-4-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Bicskei - Cascão, Vaz - Diversi, 松本 (Matsumoto), Giacomin, Zucchi - Turk, Mendel.

The wings were the focus of most of Kbel's attacks today. The game was characterised by rough play and many physical challenges on the wet field, but F. Krogsdal showed great heart and had a good game. J. Holaň did not have a good day today, often losing his footing on the muddy pitch. After 17 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as CONDOM found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to poor. 雅. 松本 (Matsumoto) had a good opportunity to give CONDOM the lead as he charged down the right and struck the ball towards the top corner, but the home team's goalkeeper made the save. After some beautiful movement down the left wing, D. Gaube scored for Kbel putting them ahead 1 - 0, after 25 minutes. 1 - 0 was the halftime score. Kbel had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

During the break, CONDOM's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to passable organisation. Cheers filled the stadium as J. Barthez broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 2 - 0 to Kbel. Confident in their lead, Kbel's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. 54 minutes into the game, CONDOM seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to weak. V. Bejdák's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert J. Barthez was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for Kbel. 3 - 0. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Kbel, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. With 78 minutes played, Kbel put themselves up 4 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to F. Krogsdal, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. Players in Kbel heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. After 80 minutes, V. Bliznyuk put Kbel ahead 5 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. After 81 minutes, A. Diversi sent the corner kick right to E. Cascão who headed it sharply past the keeper. 5 - 1! Kbel claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 55 percent.

Kbel's top performer was clearly L. Bleuzet. On the other hand, J. Holaň's play was disheartening. CONDOM's best player was M. Giacomin. However, R. Mendel made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 5 - 1.
