Today, SPADACCINO's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. The crowd groaned its disapproval when E. Weinkauf missed a free kick that would have given biBusta the lead after 7 minutes. 17 minutes into the match, SPADACCINO nearly took the lead, as A. Cernari broke through on the right. F. Wyssmüller made the save, however. The counterattacks of SPADACCINO were deadly and 24 minutes into the game, M. Montalto received a nice pass from the right flank, making it 0 - 1. 26 minutes into the game, M. Waberer had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came K. Schönenbröcher. It was obvious that SPADACCINO had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. M. Montalto of SPADACCINO took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 27 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 2. A. Rytter increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 3. 36 minutes in, biBusta's M. Lipotić received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. SPADACCINO's P. Ressa refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 37 minutes. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 3. SPADACCINO enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 58 percent of possession.

The SPADACCINO players could smell victory in the air. A. Ruperti wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for O. Allinen after 46 minutes. The home crowd was not impressed when M. Montalto came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 47 minutes. SPADACCINO were now up 0 - 4. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for M. Montalto. The coach of SPADACCINO was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 50 minutes, V. Magnani came on for P. Ressa. M. Montalto wanted to play on, but the SPADACCINO coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 56 minutes into the game by A. Nicastro. The referee signalled a penalty 56 minutes into the game following an offence which looked like it was outside the box. A. Archistra knocked it home to make the score 0 - 5. After 60 minutes, biBusta switched E. Weinkauf with R. Eijck, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. Some fine movement on the left led to a SPADACCINO goal after 64 minutes, making it 0 - 6. A. Bastreghi was noted down as the scorer. Confident in their lead, SPADACCINO's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. SPADACCINO had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

The most dominating biBusta player was without a doubt G. Hägele. F. Wyssmüller on the other hand, had a terrible day. SPADACCINO's top performer was clearly G. Cannata. O. Allinen was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 6.
