daniz86 seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. ciavatta clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. daniz86 had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. ciavatta's counterattacks were lethal to the opposing defence, allowing C. Corral to score easily from the right flank for 0 - 1. ciavatta's X. Prod’Homme got himself booked for a foul. 35 minutes into the game, ciavatta seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to inadequate. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from M. Kurunczy after 38 minutes, and prevented ciavatta from going up another goal. It was 0 - 1 at the break. daniz86 claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 70 percent.

A review of the gameplan helped ciavatta get back to a solid organisation when the referee blew his whistle again. After 47 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as ciavatta found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to passable. daniz86's I. van Vught made an attempt at equalising 54 minutes into the match, coming in from the right, but the ball hit the post and the defence easily cleared the rebound. N. Westkreuz was called on to replace daniz86's F. Wahlgård after 75 minutes following a nasty collision. 84 minutes into the game, ciavatta seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a inadequate level of organisation. After 85 minutes, J. Venasco got through on the right and was very close to equalising for the home side, but didn't get the shot away. As P. Dorneanu had, completely unprovoked, swept the legs out from under an opponent in front of a linesman, the referee gave the daniz86 player a red card without batting an eyelid. Possession in this half belonged to daniz86, who controlled the ball 68 percent of the time.

Most important daniz86 player was P. Jóźwiak. D. Perkins turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating ciavatta player was without a doubt M. Kurunczy. R. Jirousek on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 1.
