Muftty decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Zwaga - Miłoś, Barrios, Mitescu - Folkvord, Melka, Lesňák, Schmidt, Løvdal - Motúz, Mrkvica.

Today, VIP's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. Muftty displayed their ability to play creatively. 8 minutes into the game, J. Folkvord almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Muftty, with 51 percent of the ball.

46 minutes into the game, Muftty wanted to bring some new energy to their game. B. Mrkvica gave K. Mach a quick hug as he left the field. M. Stocco would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. E. Buchard entered the game for VIP as the match clock showed 46 minutes. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, G. Lie got himself booked. The manager of VIP was not happy. After 60 minutes, the Muftty coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving R. Melka off the field. C. Antipa took his place. 60 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a VIP substitution. K. Dubáň came on for G. Lie. After 63 minutes, Muftty put themselves up 0 - 1, as T. Mitescu finished off a strike from the left with a real cannonball of a shot. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave I. Miłoś from Muftty a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 64 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! After 70 minutes, VIP switched B. Čabák with M. Maholiak, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. Possession in this half belonged to Muftty, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

VIP's top performer was clearly N. Merviö. On the other hand, A. Lobo Filho's play was disheartening. The most dominating Muftty player was without a doubt J. Schmidt. R. Barrios turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 1.
