Today, ronaldissimo's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. argentina were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. A. Zanarini was struggling to make the ball dance with his usual trickery and panache, and the opposing players had little trouble shutting him down in these muddy conditions. 20 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left.

The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave R. Knoph from ronaldissimo a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 33 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! After 36 minutes, the visitors tied it up at 1 - 1 when a fantastic pass from the left was finished off by S. Pachatouridis.

Z. Nigah slipped and slithered in the wet grass. His usual rapid runs were nowhere to be seen today. argentina were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. A drive down the left side allowed S. Salerno to get in close and score another goal for argentina after 60 minutes, taking the score to 1 - 3. ronaldissimo supporters cheered as good work down the right got the ball to R. Frauendiener who reduced the visitors' lead after 64 minutes to 2 - 3. R. Knoph charged down the left and had a wonderful opportunity to score the equaliser for ronaldissimo, but the shot went well wide of the goal.

Seras Malo was given a chance to change things around. After 75 minutes, ronaldissimo switched Z. Nigah with G. Blümelsberger, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. The ronaldissimo captaincy was handed to A. Seras Malo. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, A. Zanarini would have put argentina up another goal 81 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. 84 minutes in, ronaldissimo's W. Ciborowski received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. argentina were forced into a substitution as F. Biggi couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing M. Giaccardi to come in off the bench. Some lightning fast two foot dribbles by A. Zanarini left N. Moser way behind after 86 minutes, but the shot was just wide. P. Raes received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 87 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 2 - 4. The argentina fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. argentina had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

N. Moser performed admirably for ronaldissimo. On the other hand, W. Ciborowski's play was disheartening. Most important argentina player was M. Pérez. D. Džin turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 4.
