30241 spectators arrived at Kain Place, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Luís Carolino was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Mats Klinthall and Elia Arcais. Uvidimekaj started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Cholidis - Gorts, Camberlin, van 't Hoff - Chaveu, Gasser, Schlenk, MacBean, Poledník - Soeira, Lalák.

Ostrava had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Maggiore - Spanò, Antolini, Martinez - Satoniitty, Bozóky, Arnbergsson, Di Pietro, Anaya - Tozzato, Diodato.

Ostrava showed off their creative tactics. Uvidimekaj's T. Gasser tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. A well placed corner kick from S. Arnbergsson was followed by D. Martinez's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for Ostrava, the score now 0 - 1. P. Di Pietro acted foolishly after 34 minutes, giving the ball up to Uvidimekaj's P. Lalák who had no trouble finding the back of the net. 1 - 1. 1 - 2 was the score with 35 minutes played, after R. Anaya cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Ostrava. P. Lalák showed the skills that make him a real crowd pleaser as he, after 40 minutes, wove through the guests' entire central defence and put the 2 - 2 equaliser away. It was 2 - 2 at the break. Uvidimekaj had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

68 minutes into the match, Ostrava's V. Tozzato demonstrated his famed speed as he raced past his marker and passed the ball to P. Diodato who chipped it in for 2 - 3. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Uvidimekaj's B. Camberlin was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 68 minutes. R. Kohnke was given a chance to change things around. The crowd roared in delight as P. Lalák finished off a spectacular series of passes through the middle to even the score for Uvidimekaj 69 minutes into the match. 3 - 3. This third goal completed a hattrick for P. Lalák. 72 minutes into the match and the home team took a 4 - 3 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for Uvidimekaj was C. Soeira. After 73 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by R. Kohnke might have resulted in another goal for Uvidimekaj. However, R. Maggiore made a spectacular save. With 74 minutes played, the visitors could have drawn level after J. Satoniitty came through the middle, but his kick went wide. 75 minutes in, Uvidimekaj's B. Chaveu received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The visitors' S. Arnbergsson came close to levelling the score after 81 minutes with a free kick that went just wide of the top left corner. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. P. Lalák squirmed through their central defence after 82 minutes, increasing the lead to 5 - 3. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Uvidimekaj coach let A. Codorniz replace P. Lalák after 83 minutes. W. Poledník of Uvidimekaj received a yellow card after 85 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. A scuffle developed as players from both sides clashed following a tussle in the centre of the field 86 minutes into the match. After regaining order and consulting his linesman, the referee called Uvidimekaj's C. Soeira to one side and produced a red card for the player. Uvidimekaj claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 52 percent.

R. Kohnke performed admirably for Uvidimekaj. Y. Cholidis was a disappointment, however. Ostrava's best player was B. Bozóky. On the other hand, J. Satoniitty's play was disheartening. The match ends 5 - 3.
