The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 19997 had shown up at rottweilers Arena for the match. Stefan Lannerbratt was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Fernand Finjaer and Patrik Pettersson. A 4-3-3 alignment was the formation of choice for rottweilers. Lineup: Piazzese - Escales, Porquet, Moreolo, Dymalski - Ranger, Gangemi, Évain - van Diepen, Caelders, Bruhn.

Brifinn had chosen a strategic 5-3-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Woryani - Valenta, Martensen, Seuskens, Bloch, Carneiro - Hazewinkel, Alsleben, Breidbach - Draijer, Quintero.

rottweilers mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. After 3 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Brifinn found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to passable. N. Bruhn caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 13 minutes. This gave rottweilers the 1 - 0 lead. rottweilers had to make a substitution after 14 minutes. W. Moreolo limped off the field and was replaced by M. Corsten. 19 minutes in, Brifinn appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only weak. Things were deteriorating for the away team as rottweilers scored another to make it 2 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for N. Bruhn after 31 minutes. After this, you could see that the players of rottweilers were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. S. Alsleben sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from J. Martensen after 37 minutes of play, making the score 2 - 1. A great save by keeper I. Woryani after 38 minutes kept the visitors in the game after B. van Diepen struck from the left with a real cannonball. J. Hazewinkel of Brifinn was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. rottweilers solidified their lead at the 42 minute mark, as N. Bruhn dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 3 - 1. That made three goals for N. Bruhn and he was marked down for the hat trick. J. Hazewinkel had a couple of good opportunities to reply, but the home team's keeper F. Piazzese was simply unbeatable. N. Bruhn showed why he is feared on the counterattack, breaking through in the middle and scoring for rottweilers after 44 minutes to make the score 4 - 1. It was 4 - 1 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by rottweilers, with 68 percent of the ball.

The Brifinn players spent the break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organisation and regained a passable organisation when the game started again. With 68 minutes played, rottweilers's N. Caelders almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. rottweilers's M. Corsten got himself booked for a foul. After a short break after 75 minutes, rottweilers seemed to change their tactical approach a bit. In an effort to secure the lead, rottweilers changed their tactic after 75 minutes. A. Évain had a fantastic opportunity to put rottweilers up another goal 75 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for rottweilers, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. After 83 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by G. Ranger might have resulted in another goal for rottweilers. However, I. Woryani made a spectacular save. N. Bruhn could have increased the lead after 84 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. T. Quintero finished off the counterattack of Brifinn from the left rather easily, making the score 4 - 2. rottweilers claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

rottweilers's top performer was clearly N. Bruhn. M. Corsten on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Brifinn player was without a doubt D. Carneiro. R. Seuskens was a disappointment, however. The match ends 4 - 2.
