Ravens tried to focus their attacks down the middle. Given a free kick close to the byline, Ravens tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let T. Vedby slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 1 - 0, 12 minutes into the game. With 19 minutes played, Ravens's A. Appel almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. Good work by the Patdup defensive line after 20 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found P. Nyberg alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. Ravens had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. O. Bæk squirmed through their central defence after 21 minutes, increasing the lead to 2 - 0. Confident in their lead, Ravens's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. It was obvious that team Ravens had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. With the clock showing 30 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of Ravens resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by M. Salemi in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Ravens, who controlled the ball 64 percent of the time.

A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Ravens's I. Jensen increasing the lead to 3 - 0. B. Balogh was called on to replace Patdup's A. Solberg after 75 minutes following a nasty collision. Patdup's D. Quinteros got himself booked for a foul. After 83 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by O. Bæk might have resulted in another goal for Ravens. However, G. Zaaijer made a spectacular save. After 85 minutes, Patdup's I. Matías fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! Ravens's I. Jensen increased the lead to 4 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 87 minutes. The referee showed Patdup's I. Matías the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Ravens claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 67 percent.

Ravens's best player was I. Jensen. However, A. Appel made a disastrous appearance. Most important Patdup player was M. Mpantras. I. Matías on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 4 - 0.
