Deportivo saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Fatality used their skill at pressing to cut off the attack angles of their opponents all over the field. Deportivo broke through on the left 2 minutes into the game, with E. Ramstad firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Deportivo scored another to make it 2 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for M. Lasa after 18 minutes. The players of Deportivo now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. F. Tama of Deportivo seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 3 - 0 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by E. Ramstad. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 38 minutes, Deportivo did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, M. Lasa was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 4 - 0. Fatality pressed their opponents, causing the game to be a bit of a stalemate at times. The teams went for the halftime break at 4 - 0. Deportivo claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 78 percent.

Fatality had to make a substitution after 53 minutes. D. Bandirali limped off the field and was replaced by M. Cocivera. The pressing tactics used by Fatality were successful as the ball remained close to the half way line at all times. Deportivo's M. Jacobsen had an excellent opportunity after 71 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! M. Jacobsen of Deportivo was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. E. Ramstad's tried to storm through the defence after 77 minutes, but E. Vinmar was just too fast to shake off and the rest of the defence got back to cover. Deportivo's M. Lasa swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. Deportivo had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. Deportivo's M. Lasa increased the lead to 5 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 86 minutes. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for M. Lasa. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Deportivo, with 83 percent of the ball.

Deportivo's top performer was clearly M. Quaqquero. However, A. Siłakowski made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Fatality player was without a doubt R. Corrales. C. Rădulescu on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 5 - 0.
