A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for ALLUCINATI-SAN. They fielded: Urbani - Simkin, De Capite, Ciccioli, Baki - Brabrinke, Kammer, Leite, Nuutinen - Blitterswijk, Mauch.

ALLUCINATI-SAN were relying on their ability to counter-attack. Making his way up the middle 9 minutes into the match, K. Boros almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert P. Urbani blocked it to keep the score level. ALLUCINATI-SAN's M. Blitterswijk managed to lose the defenders as he advanced down the right wing and scored, putting the visitors ahead after 12 minutes. 0 - 1. With 19 minutes played, M. Blitterswijk nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. Some fine movement on the left led to a ALLUCINATI-SAN goal after 34 minutes, making it 0 - 2. T. Mauch was noted down as the scorer. It was 0 - 2 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Bandito, who controlled the ball 61 percent of the time.

P. Smyczyński's speed was clear to see after 56 minutes, as he darted down the wing and released K. Boros who placed the ball into the back of the net to make the score 1 - 2. A. Baki increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 1 - 3. Bandito reduced the lead to 2 - 3 with 61 minutes on the clock when K. Boros got the best of a ball floated in from the left. ALLUCINATI-SAN's counterattacks created a good chance for A. Leite on the right after 75 minutes, but he could only look on with dismay as his strike rebounded off the crossbar. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Bandito, with 63 percent of the ball.

Most important Bandito player was K. Boros. I. Corrado on the other hand, had a terrible day. ALLUCINATI-SAN's top performer was clearly T. Mauch. P. Urbani was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 3.
