Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Rosso-Nerro. Copenhaga's E. Magni managed to lose the defenders as he advanced down the right wing and scored, putting the visitors ahead after 37 minutes. 0 - 1. After 40 minutes of game time, E. Magni had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but T. West was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. 41 minutes in, Rosso-Nerro's M. Miclea received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Copenhaga, with 56 percent of the ball.

Copenhaga increased their lead after 69 minutes when V. Jugănaru broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 2, much to the home crowd's dismay. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, K. Wenerski got himself booked. The manager of Copenhaga was not happy. Copenhaga's L. Pileri made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 73 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. Rosso-Nerro's defence sent a ball soaring up the middle on a beautiful counterattack with 74 minutes gone, but J. Paz's finish was met by the reaching hands of the keeper. Copenhaga enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 57 percent of possession.

Most important Rosso-Nerro player was S. Wedekind. However, R. Rennemo made a disastrous appearance. E. Magni performed admirably for Copenhaga. G. Sandu on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 2.
