A brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 43858 to Stormblåst Stadium. Raúl Alberto Blanco was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Norbert Buil and Perry van der Molen. All of Bucureşti was shut down for the day, as fans of both clubs came to the derby. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Torpil. The following players had been chosen: Lier - Grabowicz, Suess, Grohe - Neacsu, Munkvold, Winderhitzer, Regensburg, Karbuczki - Sommerer, Wissingen.

Hajduk started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. They fielded: Van Wonterghem - Fois, Arnaoutidis, Matjus - Crăciun, van Olphen, Corneanu, Miricã - Rzońca, Józefacki, Popescu.

The visiting M. Rzońca was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 28 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. The sun seemed to put B. Regensburg in a great mood, and he showed off his technical skills all match long. The crowd roared in delight as I. Wissingen finished off a spectacular series of passes through the middle to even the score for Torpil 40 minutes into the match. 1 - 1. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave M. Rzońca from Hajduk a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 42 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! After 44 minutes of play, M. Sommerer gave the home team a 2 - 1 lead after an attack coming in from the right. 2 - 1 was the halftime score. Torpil enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 63 percent of possession.

Hajduk's right side looked dangerous 53 minutes in, but M. Lier made a good save on M. Rzońca's hard shot to the top corner. After 54 minutes Hajduk's B. Corneanu limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. T. Karbuczki increased the lead for Torpil to 3 - 1, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! 59 minutes in, Hajduk's G. Fois received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. K. Winderhitzer could have put Torpil up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 62 minutes. The intense heat forced L. van Olphen into making some errors because he couldn't seem to keep up with the others. After 75 minutes, S. Grohe put Torpil ahead 4 - 1 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. The home side's M. Sommerer came close to extending the lead 81 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but R. Van Wonterghem managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. Hajduk's F. Józefacki got himself booked for a foul. Torpil claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 66 percent.

Most important Torpil player was B. Regensburg. K. Suess was a disappointment, however. Hajduk's best player was F. Józefacki. M. Miricã turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 4 - 1.
