Kosmica seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. giusk80 mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. Boom! What a strike by Kosmica's S. Linnala! Firing in from 35 yards after 13 minutes, that is probably one of the best goals he's ever scored! 1 - 0. After 20 minutes, L. Verdet put Kosmica ahead 2 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. After 31 minutes, Kosmica sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached S. Linnala, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 3 - 0. 33 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as W. Kondzior broke through, making the score 4 - 0 for Kosmica. Confident in their lead, Kosmica's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Kosmica's C. Sirocchi was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 36 minutes. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. K. Neufeld squirmed through their central defence after 38 minutes, increasing the lead to 5 - 0. 5 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Kosmica, with 80 percent of the ball.

Although the whole team were struggling to impress, giusk80's M. Cavanna was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 46 minutes. E. Staltari was given a chance to change things around. Still trailing on the score board, giusk80 adjusted their tactics after 46 minutes. A. Impellizzeri had a quick chat at the side line, then switched positions with V. Salvini. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Kosmica to 6 - 0 as M.

With 84 minutes played, Kosmica put themselves up 10 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to S. Linnala, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. At that, S. Linnala was noted down for a hat trick! After 85 minutes, Kosmica's M. Candales fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! Kosmica claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 81 percent.

Kosmica's best player was M. Falvo. However, E. Tzalik made a disastrous appearance. Most important giusk80 player was E. Staltari. F. Odorizzi turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 10 - 0.
