2840 spectators had come to Forest this cloudy day. Viggo Agle was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Leonard Claeys and Víctor Robres. FCGS started off with a 2-5-3 lineup. Starters: Niculescu - Ovesson, Mahmoud - Ibatici, Euler, Gommers, Schnetter, Zanobi - Hins, Frairia, Bøgholm.

Perdida tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Lopes Conceição - Bedevi, Vilaverde, Hayman - Melo, Knutsson, van den Broek, Kirkegaard, Carvalho Pinto - Elosidieta, Pană.

The home crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief when J. Knutsson was unable to put the ball in the net after his show of skill down the left 10 minutes into the match. He was seen beating the pitch in frustration at missing such a good chance to give his team the lead! FCGS took the lead after 28 minutes as a result of N. Bøgholm's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. Cheers filled the stadium as C. Hins broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 2 - 0 to FCGS. After this, you could see that the players of FCGS were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. With 39 minutes played, FCGS put themselves up 3 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to A. Zanobi, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. 3 - 0 was the score after the first half. FCGS had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

FCGS's A. Zanobi left the field after 49 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was D. van der Schier. C. Hins could have increased the lead after 52 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. 62 minutes into the game, G. Niculescu had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came S. Wilkie. FCGS's B. Euler saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 63 minutes. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in FCGS's D. van der Schier increasing the lead to 4 - 0. FCGS increased the lead as F. Ibatici struck to make the score 5 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Content with how the game was proceeding, the FCGS coach let S. Tax replace L. Ovesson after 89 minutes. FCGS enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 66 percent of possession.

C. Hins performed admirably for FCGS. On the other hand, S. Wilkie's play was disheartening. Perdida's best player was A. Lopes Conceição. However, D. Melo made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 5 - 0.
