For their match strategy, mahne had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. The terraces were silenced after 4 minutes when Bj's D. Bleotu put the guests ahead 0 - 1, following an attack on the right. Bj's S. Noordam made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 24 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. After 36 minutes of play, S. Ardiles evened things up for mahne with an impressive goal coming up the middle. 1 - 1. Bj's D. Bleotu gave the visitors a 1 - 2 lead after 36 minutes with a superb strike from the right. 1 - 2 was the score after the first half. Bj enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 62 percent of possession.

The home crowd was not impressed when Ó. Las Heras Marín came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 48 minutes. Bj were now up 1 - 3. mahne's S. Ardiles refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 62 minutes. mahne had to make a substitution after 66 minutes. N. James limped off the field and was replaced by S. Klingeman. 69 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 1 - 4 as S. Noordam finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. After 74 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave 盧. 修利 (Xiuli) a chance to increase the lead for Bj, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 1 - 5. The coach of Bj was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 76 minutes, M. Vassilias came on for S. Noordam. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave D. Bleotu from Bj a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 77 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! S. Enginer's knee will be throbbing for days, but thankfully for mahne, he bravely continued in the match. The visitors' D. Bleotu took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 79 minutes into the match. 1 - 6 for Bj. This third goal completed a hattrick for D. Bleotu. By now, the players in Bj felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. After 86 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed A. Gaist to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 1 - 7. Bj claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 68 percent.

Z. Nyúl performed admirably for mahne. On the other hand, S. Enginer's play was disheartening. Bj's top performer was clearly D. Bleotu. However, M. Decker made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 7.
