Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Marteling voor de tegenstand saw a crowd turnout of 3571. Claude Pianzola was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Max Endisch and Anssi Hillu. FCF had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation. The following players took the field: Landing - Sőreg, Schraube - Vilallonga, Lindenmaier, Bruyneel, Jarząbkowski, Peisser-Konetzny - Viadana, Aslanov, Mohammad.

75er decided to use a 5-3-2 set up. They fielded: Rodríguez - Floridia, Vigier, Grube, Attal, Schubiger - Pagnini, Ardiles, Éliot - Schweiker, Rigg.

Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of FCF. Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for 75er. Many thought M. Bruyneel ought to have been awarded a penalty 9 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around J. Rodríguez after a determined run through the middle. 13 minutes into the game, 75er seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a solid level of organisation. 14 minutes in, 75er appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only inadequate. A well placed corner kick from T. Vigier was followed by T. Rigg's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for 75er, the score now 0 - 1. Due to some great work on the right wing FCF's C. Viadana was able to even the score after 32 minutes to make the score 1 - 1. After 35 minutes 75er's Y. Éliot contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. It was 1 - 1 at the break. FCF had most of the ball, with 59 percent of possession.

Despite his frustration resulting in the smashing of a few teacups, the coach of 75er was able to get his message across, and raised 75er's organisation to solid. 57 minutes into the game, S. Schubiger was a hair's breadth away from giving 75er the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by M. Landing saved the home team that time. 66 minutes into the game, 75er had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to passable. FCF had a chance to take the lead after G. Vilallonga's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 67 minutes. 75er's T. Vigier got himself booked for a foul. T. Aslanov caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 81 minutes. This gave FCF the 2 - 1 lead. After 82 minutes, T. Aslanov put FCF ahead 3 - 1 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. 85 minutes into the game, 75er seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to inadequate. FCF enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 57 percent of possession.

M. Bruyneel performed admirably for FCF. G. Vilallonga turned in a dismal performance, however. 75er's best player was C. Schweiker. F. Grube on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 1.
