14350 punters turned up at Australian Bush, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Pier Luigi Bizzo was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jörgen Fogellund and Hinko Lelie. Wombati tactics involved an interesting 5-3-2 combination. They fielded: Marechal - Grabler, Pignolet, Perovič, Janhuba, Moisei - Majer, Ston, Jarkovský - Blatný, Gurp.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for RAKETÁCI. The following players had been chosen: Štěpina - Melša, Telvák, Hanuš, Chvostek - Fejta, Studník, Kalbáč, Trkovský - Šídlo, Svítek.

Wombati mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. Wombati broke through on the left 8 minutes into the game, with L. Blatný firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. M. Ston increased the lead for Wombati to 2 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! L. Blatný unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. Wombati players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. S. Pignolet squirmed through their central defence after 34 minutes, increasing the lead to 3 - 0. Ž. Perovič of Wombati received a yellow card after 35 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. 3 - 0 was the halftime score. Wombati had most of the ball, with 73 percent of possession.

The home side's Č. Majer curled a free kick home after 49 minutes, putting Wombati ahead 4 - 0. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Wombati lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. J. Gurp sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from Č. Majer after 67 minutes of play, making the score 5 - 0. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Wombati scored another to make it 6 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for L. Blatný after 77 minutes. 80 minutes in, RAKETÁCI's D. Šídlo received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Wombati's Z. Janhuba increased the lead to 7 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 82 minutes. After 85 minutes, S. Pignolet put Wombati ahead 8 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. RAKETÁCI's B. Trkovský got himself booked for a foul. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Wombati's L. Blatný increasing the lead to 9 - 0. This third goal completed a hattrick for L. Blatný. Possession in this half belonged to Wombati, who controlled the ball 79 percent of the time.

The most dominating Wombati player was without a doubt R. Grabler. N. Marechal on the other hand, had a terrible day. RAKETÁCI's best player was L. Studník. K. Štěpina turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 9 - 0.
