Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for JAF. TIESTO-TEAM's P. Lungu tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. The boggy pitch disrupted the game, especially for technical players like V. Bratu. With 10 minutes gone, J. Tocha suddenly found himself completely free on the right wing when a counterattack by JAF caught their opponents by surprise. Only a great save by the opposing keeper prevented him from scoring. The referee showed TIESTO-TEAM's G. Pepero the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. G. Pepero remonstrated furiously with the referee after TIESTO-TEAM had another decision go against them. The referee had no alternative but to show him another yellow card and send him from the pitch. JAF caught their opponents out with a clever counterattack down the right wing 30 minutes into the match. P. Tyma was able to finish off the move - 0 - 1. 0 - 1 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to TIESTO-TEAM, who controlled the ball 62 percent of the time.

As the game started to slip away for TIESTO-TEAM, the manager decided to change the tactical approach. TIESTO-TEAM's O. Sedelnikov got himself booked for a foul. J. Tocha's knee will be throbbing for days, but thankfully for JAF, he bravely continued in the match. A well placed corner kick from P. Lungu was followed by C. Doulgerakis's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for TIESTO-TEAM, the score now 1 - 1. JAF were great at switching from defence to attack, and after 63 minutes, A. Vizi swept through the middle on a counterattack, making the score 1 - 2. 69 minutes into the match, a typically brave header by C. Doulgerakis from E. Bumbac's cross looped just over the opposing goalkeeper's desperate reach. Goal for TIESTO-TEAM, making the score 2 - 2. Priding himself in being an active coach, the TIESTO-TEAM manager gave new instructions to his players after 70 minutes. 70 minutes into the match, the TIESTO-TEAM manager wanted to try a new tactic, and the players loyally obliged. The counterattack by JAF resulted in a free kick that K. Polat bent under the crossbar - 2 - 3! After 71 minutes, TIESTO-TEAM switched L. Eggenmüller with M. Istrate, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. The muddy pitch made the game a gritty affair, which seemed to suit P. Lungu just fine. TIESTO-TEAM were awarded a penalty 79 minutes into the game, but P. Lungu didn't make a good job of it and 杨. 晖勇 (Huiyong) managed to save. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by TIESTO-TEAM, with 60 percent of the ball.

TIESTO-TEAM's top performer was clearly G. Jó. However, M. Istrate made a disastrous appearance. A. Herlea performed admirably for JAF. K. Polat turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 3.
