A mistake by the home side's central defence after 15 minutes allowed K. Ptaszek to score for wado-kumi. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. zompafossi's T. Vercruysse put his head to a high ball coming in from the right after 17 minutes, but the ball went wide. 24 minutes in, wado-kumi's J. Ruto received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. zompafossi were forced into a substitution as T. Vercruysse couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing L. Compagnin to come in off the bench. Good work by the zompafossi defensive line after 35 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found C. Ailstock alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. 36 minutes in, and zompafossi were able to score the equalising goal to make it 1 - 1 when M. Discenza picked up a pass coming in from the right and chipped it past the away team's keeper. It was 1 - 1 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to zompafossi, who controlled the ball 60 percent of the time.

zompafossi's M. Discenza tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to C. Ailstock, but the zompafossi player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 2 - 1! zompafossi's L. Compagnin got himself booked for a foul. That zompafossi's T. Burci has the ability of doing what no one expects him to do was shown as he ran over an opposing defender, snatched the ball and passed to G. Monolo who hit it hard into the wide open goal after 70 minutes: 3 - 1! zompafossi made it 4 - 1 as T. Burci got a touch to the floated corner kick and flicked the ball to C. Argetoianu who whipped a low drive in off the far post. By now, the players in zompafossi felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. zompafossi had most of the ball, with 60 percent of possession.

zompafossi's best player was G. Monolo. However, L. Compagnin made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating wado-kumi player was without a doubt K. Ptaszek. J. Ruto was a disappointment, however. The match ends 4 - 1.
