Sevlush seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. ROMA AS were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. ROMA AS's R. Kienbacher was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 11 minutes. After 15 minutes of play, M. Kaláb gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. The home team will be cursing R. Rogge for weeks; he finished off a great pass from the left, knocking it past the keeper without a problem. The match was level at 1 - 1 after 16 minutes. N. Tsur-Mayer looked great 24 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' J. Börjesson. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 1. ROMA AS had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

ROMA AS were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. ROMA AS's S. Frelik gave the visitors a 1 - 2 lead after 64 minutes with a superb strike from the right. With 66 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed R. Kolff of ROMA AS to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 1 - 3. The players of ROMA AS now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. The home side worked hard to get through the middle and as a result, had a good chance of getting one back as J. Kuruc tried lifting the ball over keeper F. Govoni. Unfortunately, the ball went just over the bar. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, A. Vujović would have put ROMA AS up another goal 70 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. Some fine movement on the left led to a ROMA AS goal after 75 minutes, making it 1 - 4. R. Kienbacher was noted down as the scorer. ROMA AS's M. Valenzuela Serrano refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 80 minutes. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from J. Börjesson after 81 minutes, and prevented ROMA AS from going up another goal. Possession in this half belonged to ROMA AS, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

Sevlush's top performer was clearly A. Cabra. On the other hand, V. Fuks's play was disheartening. R. Kolff performed admirably for ROMA AS. F. Govoni turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 4.
