Sikie seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Sikie took the lead after 24 minutes as a result of I. Svezhentsev's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. Sikie had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Sikie's P. Šemiotas increasing the lead to 2 - 0. With 31 minutes played, 罗. 综翊 (Zongyi) of Sikie fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. With 34 minutes played, Sikie put themselves up 3 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to I. Svezhentsev, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. D. Arnáez squirmed through their central defence after 36 minutes, increasing the lead to 4 - 0. Sikie players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. Cheers filled the stadium as V. Apáti broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 5 - 0 to Sikie. After this, you could see that the players of Sikie were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. After 42 minutes Sikie's N. Zimonjić contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. 5 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Sikie, with 88 percent of the ball.

Sikie solidified their lead at the 61 minute mark, as N. Zimonjić dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 6 - 0. Sikie increased the lead as M. Nieminen struck to make the score 7 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Sikie put themselves up 8 - 0 when M. Nieminen broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. Sikie managed to extend their lead to 9 - 0 when N. Zimonjić cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. After 82 minutes, V. Apáti put Sikie ahead 10 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. Possession in this half belonged to Sikie, who controlled the ball 90 percent of the time.

Most important Sikie player was V. Apáti. On the other hand, N. Zimonjić's play was disheartening. A. Lauberts performed admirably for Visvarenās. A. Evardsons turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 10 - 0.
