6628 spectators arrived at Nowhere Man's Home, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Patrick Kjær Jensen was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Tore Håkansson and Armando Wyler. A 4-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for Nowhere. The following players had been chosen: Belov - Rudat, Ward, Campbell, Finegan - Baasandorj, Librenjak, Dawson, Rushton, MacCoull - Matyukhin.

United started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Smith - Ţicleanu, Calaiò, Prezerakos, Grozdanić - Wąchalski, Bridges, Cook, Johansson - Poirier, Toifl.

United's N. Prezerakos was shown a yellow card after 20 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Slack defending gave Nowhere a chance to take the lead with 21 minutes played, but S. Finegan's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. Nowhere took the lead after 23 minutes as a result of S. Campbell's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. M. MacCoull had a fantastic opportunity to put Nowhere up another goal 28 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. 31 minutes into the game, Nowhere had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to passable. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Nowhere's Y. Matyukhin increasing the lead to 2 - 0. Confident in their lead, Nowhere's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Nowhere's J. Dawson saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 34 minutes. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave J. Dawson from Nowhere a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 38 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! E. Calaiò's knee will be throbbing for days, but thankfully for United, he bravely continued in the match. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Nowhere, with 80 percent of the ball.

Despite his frustration resulting in the smashing of a few teacups, the coach of Nowhere was able to get his message across, and raised Nowhere's organisation to solid. The coach of Nowhere was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, P. Aindow came on for S. Finegan. K. Ward 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. H. Gibson was the replacement. The Nowhere players could smell victory in the air. O. Rudat wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for S. Cartmill after 46 minutes. Nowhere's Y. Matyukhin swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. M. Wąchalski of United received a yellow card after 62 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Nowhere put in a good effort on the right, but P. Aindow saw his volley fly wide of the mark 63 minutes into the game. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Nowhere scored another to make it 3 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for P. Aindow after 66 minutes. Nowhere had most of the ball, with 82 percent of possession.

The most dominating Nowhere player was without a doubt Y. Matyukhin. H. Gibson was a disappointment, however. United's top performer was clearly F. Toifl. On the other hand, G. Smith's play was disheartening. The match ends 3 - 0.
