The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 28368 had shown up at ALLUCINATI-SAN SALVO THEATRE for the match. Javier Jiménez was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Ronny Burgers and Marius Ruess. ALLUCINATI-SAN tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. Lineup: Urbani - Simkin, De Capite, Ciccioli, Baki - Ulmaja, Leite, Kammer, Nuutinen - Blitterswijk, Mauch.

Bandito decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Corrado - Carciofi, Colavitti, Valgimigli - Fundoni, Köhner, El-Ibrahim, Batalha, Smyczyński - Josep, Boros.

A. Batalha had a good try after 19 minutes, coming in on a fine move from the left, but the ball went wide. C. Simkin of ALLUCINATI-SAN was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. 28 minutes into the game, A. Baki had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came M. Arecco. V. Ulmaja would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. M. Koller entered the game for ALLUCINATI-SAN as the match clock showed 30 minutes. K. Boros was the first to reach the corner kick, but his header was blocked by the keeper. However, Bandito's M. El-Ibrahim managed to get hold of the rebound and tucked the ball into the empty net. 0 - 1 After 38 minutes, R. Kammer got through on the right and was very close to equalising for the home side, but didn't get the shot away. 39 minutes into the game, Bandito were awarded a penalty and G. Josep was able to increase the visitors' lead to 0 - 2 rolling the ball in by the right post. It was 0 - 2 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by ALLUCINATI-SAN, with 52 percent of the ball.

ALLUCINATI-SAN refused to be intimidated and, breaking through the middle, A. De Capite managed to slip the ball home for 1 - 2. Some fine passing in the middle of the pitch, carving open the away defence, should have led to a goal for ALLUCINATI-SAN, but A. Leite's shot went over the bar. After 77 minutes, Bandito's A. Köhner burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 1 - 3. M. Blitterswijk almost reduced the deficit, having drawn the entire left side defence away, but the shot went straight into the arms of the goalkeeper. C. Simkin knew he was in trouble after hacking down an opponent. Despite his pleading with the referee, the ALLUCINATI-SAN player was shown a second yellow card and dismissed from the game. Bandito claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

Most important ALLUCINATI-SAN player was T. Mauch. However, A. De Capite made a disastrous appearance. Bandito's top performer was clearly K. Boros. I. Corrado on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 3.
