The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 47168 had shown up at Romeo Menti for the match. Tony Kvarnblad was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Kunibald Stoeckl and Diego Gradín. Settebeo had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Ginestra - Kalyazin, Peeken, Szwarocki - Tibi, Aarts, Påske, Gökçiçek, Masio - Lenherr, Aranđelović.

Molare decided to use a 5-4-1 set up. The following players had been chosen: Pagura - Kristiansen, Marastoni, Van Tuyne, van Witsen, Barnøe - Scaramozzino, Alberani, Iafrate, Séron - Amado.

For their match strategy, Molare had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. With 2 minutes played F. Aarts almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. With 17 minutes played M. Peeken almost gave the home side the lead with an unexpected free kick set up, but the visitors' L. Pagura was onto it, grabbing the would be breakthrough ball. Molare played a good counterattacking move down the left 18 minutes into the match, with W. Van Tuyne finishing well for 0 - 1. With 33 minutes having been played, Settebeo scored to make it 1 - 1. A dribble down the left wing, followed by a shot which took a wicked bounce off a defender resulted in the keeper having no chance. Everyone thought it'd been an own goal, but M. Peeken was marked down as the scorer. 1 - 1 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Settebeo, who controlled the ball 65 percent of the time.

56 minutes into the match and the home team took a 2 - 1 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for Settebeo was L. Lenherr. M. Peeken increased Settebeo's lead to 3 - 1 with a penalty spot cannonball. A. Barnøe behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 74 minutes as he gave the ball away to A. Szwarocki. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. Settebeo's M. Aranđelović swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. With 84 minutes played, T. Iafrate of Molare fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. M. Peeken had a fantastic opportunity to put Settebeo up another goal 85 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. It might be a while before the fans see Molare's T. Iafrate again, after he had to leave the field in great distress at the 86 minute mark. He was replaced by E. Prado. The Molare captaincy was handed to A. Alberani. Settebeo had most of the ball, with 66 percent of possession.

Settebeo's best player was M. Aranđelović. L. Lenherr on the other hand, had a terrible day. Molare's top performer was clearly M. Amado. W. Van Tuyne turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 1.
