12000 punters turned up at Arena, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Radosław Siniecki was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Floris Folbarda and Dhamodra-Raj Jaiswal. Lucechiara had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation. They fielded: Iluz - Kuhn, Bochini - Pačan, Ballerini, Burns, Meckel, Schönhausen - Knieć, Lastrico, Lubaś.

Gate tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. The following players took the field: Vlassak - Mitroi, Grządziel - Alberani, Dore, Ferracioli, D'Arrigo, Diaz - Pakieła, Bunk, Kánský.

After 12 minutes a very unfortunate collision in the penalty area led to Gate's M. Mitroi being carried off the pitch and replaced by R. Gumpinger. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 16 minutes allowed N. Ferracioli to score for Gate. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. The home crowd was not impressed when R. Gumpinger came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 22 minutes. Gate were now up 0 - 2. The referee showed Gate's C. D'Arrigo the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. The coach of Gate was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 35 minutes, R. Oxhall came on for F. Bunk. J. Kánský increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 3. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Gate coach let S. Sotomayor replace J. Kánský after 37 minutes. After this, you could see that the players of Gate were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. It was 0 - 3 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Gate, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

After 46 minutes, Lucechiara switched G. Kuhn with M. Rinokeros, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Lucechiara's D. Bochini was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 46 minutes. F. Wedekind was given a chance to change things around. Gate's N. Ferracioli made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 54 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender slid in and cleared the ball off the line. 73 minutes into the match, C. Alberani came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. 74 minutes into the game, A. Ballerini had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came E. Bacherotti. Y. Iluz was handed the Lucechiara captain's armband. C. Diaz sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from S. Grządziel after 81 minutes of play, making the score 0 - 4. Gate had most of the ball, with 57 percent of possession.

The most dominating Lucechiara player was without a doubt M. Burns. E. Bacherotti on the other hand, had a terrible day. Gate's top performer was clearly L. Dore. However, S. Sotomayor made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 4.
