The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 12000 had shown up at San Siro for the match. Gideon Ferrier was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Simon Roland Olsen and Dinaraja Srinivasan. Inter-Zelina tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. The following players took the field: Španja - Foretić, Gašparić, Repotočnik, Proroković - Vučeraković, Saračević, Crnokrak, Majeršič - Piljanović, Stanić.

Popišanci decided to use a 2-5-3 set up. They fielded: Granić - Danguso, Biteye - Kohman, Bendoni, Escobal, Strencis, Agnelli - Mathisen, Bon Nielsen, Borgemoen.

Popišanci decided to play creatively. After the game, the most discussed event will probably be the penalty given after 12 minutes that gave the visitors the 0 - 1 lead. Despite the controversy, P. Agnelli struck home the penalty, as cool as anything. Almost all the way down to the corner flag, Popišanci's P. Agnelli somehow managed to get a perfect pass into the middle, impossible to miss for S. Mathisen, who struck for 0 - 2. A penalty was awarded after 27 minutes, and P. Agnelli made the most of his chance to put Popišanci up by another goal. 0 - 3 for the visitors. M. Bon Nielsen increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 4. A drive down the left side allowed O. Kohman to get in close and score another goal for Popišanci after 32 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 5. Confident in their lead, Popišanci's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. I. Borgemoen received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 34 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 6. The Popišanci fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. After 36 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave O. Kohman a chance to increase the lead for Popišanci, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 7. 0 - 7 was the score after the first half. Popišanci claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 88 percent.

The coach of Popišanci was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, B. Vláčil came on for S. Mathisen. I. Borgemoen wanted to play on, but the Popišanci coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 46 minutes into the game by H. Ciancaglini. The home crowd was not impressed when J. Escobal came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 54 minutes. Popišanci were now up 0 - 8. With 55 minutes played, Popišanci put themselves up 0 - 9 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was V. Bendoni. A well placed corner kick from P. Agnelli was followed by Y. Biteye's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for Popišanci, the score now 0 - 10. With 68 minutes played, Popišanci's P. Agnelli missed a penalty when the keeper made a premature dive in the right direction, and palmed the ball out of the way. Popišanci increased their lead after 75 minutes when B. Vláčil broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 11, much to the home crowd's dismay. V. Bendoni left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 80 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. C. Dehesa was the replacement. Popišanci had most of the ball, with 91 percent of possession.

The most dominating Inter-Zelina player was without a doubt D. Piljanović. However, D. Španja made a disastrous appearance. Popišanci's best player was M. Granić. O. Kohman on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 11.
