VAMPETA were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Scarparo's S. Moldovan's long shot really ought to have found the net 7 minutes into the match, but it fell just wide of the target. C. Vallebona, who often relies on his speed, had a rotten day on the drenched grass. L. Pinto Marques was having a great game - if anything the pouring rain seemed to be spurring him on! 0 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Scarparo, who controlled the ball 68 percent of the time.

After a fine move down the middle T. Stosik nearly gave the home side a goal after 59 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. 60 minutes into the game, VAMPETA wanted to bring some new energy to their game. J. van Rijswijk gave R. Tankink a quick hug as he left the field. VAMPETA showed their counterattack skill 60 minutes into the match by breaking through the middle, with A. Gjestad scoring uncontested for 0 - 1. The referee showed Scarparo's S. Moldovan the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Scarparo's M. Diciolla got himself booked for a foul. Some fine passing in the middle of the pitch, carving open the away defence, should have led to a goal for Scarparo, but E. Caprarelli's shot went over the bar. A foul called during a VAMPETA counterattack resulted in a great chance to score, but A. Gjestad's shot rattled off the post. 79 minutes into the game, VAMPETA seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to passable. Some fine movement on the left led to a VAMPETA goal after 80 minutes, making it 0 - 2. D. Guia was noted down as the scorer. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Scarparo, with 70 percent of the ball.

Most important Scarparo player was T. Stosik. However, S. Moldovan made a disastrous appearance. VAMPETA's top performer was clearly D. Agresta. A. Jörgensson turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 2.
