allstars saw most attack opportunities on the wings. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave G. Gille from allstars a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 2 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! 10 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for allstars was C. Coniglio. M. Ramírez increased allstars's lead to 2 - 0 with a penalty spot cannonball. After 27 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by J. Kilbrandon might have resulted in another goal for allstars. However, A. Maghribi made a spectacular save. Players in allstars heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. allstars increased the lead as A. Arfield struck to make the score 3 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. With 43 minutes played, allstars's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to C. Coniglio he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 4 - 0. The teams went for the halftime break at 4 - 0. allstars enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 67 percent of possession.

R. Logie enjoyed the sunshine and demonstrated his stunning technique over and over again. Things were deteriorating for the away team as allstars scored another to make it 5 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for D. Brabnar after 58 minutes. Confident in their lead, allstars's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. It wasn't a good day at all for J. Kilbrandon. His powerful style of play just didn't fit the bill on this warm day. The away team improved the scoreline to 5 - 1, as K. von Humboldt struck home, set up well by a play on the left 83 minutes into the match. The cannonball from 35 metres by D. Brabnar of allstars was an impressive sight, but didn't make it into the net. After 85 minutes, A. Arfield put allstars ahead 6 - 1 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. allstars had most of the ball, with 66 percent of possession.

allstars's top performer was clearly M. Ramírez. G. Gille turned in a dismal performance, however. H. Maunu performed admirably for Gnashers. On the other hand, K. Aro's play was disheartening. The match ends 6 - 1.
