Pressing was the tactic of the day for Szydłowianka. SB showed off their creative tactics. After 4 minutes, J. Mekcsey came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving Szydłowianka the lead. It was a bad day for the usually speedy G. Rodella. The mud seemed to slow him down. R. Proserpio's lack of experience almost gave SB a goal after 32 minutes, but the shot went right into the keeper's arms. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Szydłowianka's J. Mekcsey increasing the lead to 2 - 0. SB's S. McClelland was shown a yellow card after 34 minutes for slicing down an opponent. After 37 minutes, following yet another great corner, R. Proserpio's flick on at the near post reached V. Šil, who was just wide with his snapshot - the ball went out for a goal kick. V. Oslo almost put Szydłowianka ahead another goal when he curled a free kick over the defensive wall and almost into the net, but the visitors' keeper got there just in time to knock it wide. B. Czerwieniec of SB was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. Szydłowianka enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 58 percent of possession.

The Szydłowianka players could smell victory in the air. A. Maire wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for M. Arianejad after 46 minutes. A. Gądek 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. Ł. Wawreniuk was the replacement. The coach of Szydłowianka was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, A. Bertòn came on for V. Oslo. SB's E. Eufemi had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 58 minutes having been played. G. Zorzon was the replacement. The SB captaincy was handed to G. Zorzon. J. Mekcsey should probably have put his team up another goal after 64 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by A. Biagiotti kept the visitors in the game. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Szydłowianka to 3 - 0 as J. Garaita finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. Szydłowianka solidified their lead at the 76 minute mark, as M. Zachar dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 4 - 0. Confident in their lead, Szydłowianka's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. SB's A. Biagiotti skillfully knocked a pass over the top after 79 minutes, and that was received by G. Zorzon who just managed to slot it past the opposing goalkeeper for 4 - 1. Cheers filled the stadium as M. Zachar broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 5 - 1 to Szydłowianka. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Szydłowianka, with 60 percent of the ball.

Most important Szydłowianka player was J. Mekcsey. On the other hand, Ł. Wawreniuk's play was disheartening. G. Zorzon performed admirably for SB. B. Czerwieniec on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 5 - 1.
