The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 33019 had shown up at E_TeAM Stadium for the match. Manfried Traunfellner was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Mihael Zorinc and Hardo Kasemaa. E_TeAM had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Huhdanmäki - Legras, Piras, Delouche - de Cler, Breitreiner, Fetica, Galván, Pandini - Zanardo, Pedreiro.

XdinciBACCO started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Boutet - Almeida, Marolla, García de Luján - Francuzik, Englind, Repesse, Kruljac, Montalbano - Bidžić, Sedgewick.

XdinciBACCO clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave J. Francuzik from XdinciBACCO a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 4 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! 34 minutes of the match played, and a comedy of errors by the home side gave the visitors a chance at the lead, but M. Montalbano, after finding himself dashing down on goal from the left with only the keeper to beat, sliced his shot horribly wide. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to E_TeAM, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

Many thought S. Zanardo ought to have been awarded a penalty 56 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around S. Boutet after a determined run through the middle. It was obvious that team XdinciBACCO had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 63 minutes allowed N. Sedgewick to score for XdinciBACCO. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. After a fatal mistake from the away team's right side defence 69 minutes into the match, an alert D. Breitreiner bagged the ball for E_TeAM, levelling the score to 1 - 1. Making his way up the middle 72 minutes into the match, A. Pandini almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert S. Boutet blocked it to keep the score level. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by E_TeAM, with 52 percent of the ball.

M. Piras performed admirably for E_TeAM. On the other hand, Y. de Cler's play was disheartening. XdinciBACCO's best player was N. Sedgewick. D. Kruljac on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 1.
