Due to an all-day shower, 22764 paying spectators got to see a match on a pitch-turned-bog at DMode Stadium. Warren Ahern was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Wiljan van Zanden and Jens Korniluk. DamagedPeopleTM decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Starters: Rzeczycki - Darmetko, Sottomayor, Kist - Oliver, Mularski, Del Nobile, Pellaton, Mikáczó - Del Bolgia, Lenhardt.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Taras. Lineup: Kanonopoulos - Herpe, Lamanna, Paganelli - Pinas, Luppino, Ndo, Staudacher, Legario - Ciani, Ingram.

DamagedPeopleTM broke through on the left 13 minutes into the game, with J. Pellaton firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. G. Ciani did not have a good day today, often losing his footing on the muddy pitch. With 26 minutes played, D. Paganelli came in from the right and could have evened the score, but the defenders successfully repelled the attack by Taras. After 35 minutes, DamagedPeopleTM 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 M. Oliver, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 2 - 0. The rain made it hard for players like D. Ingram to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. Taras certainly deserved a goal after some stunning play down the left, but G. Ciani just wasn't able to finish. It was 2 - 0 at the break. Taras had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

F. Del Bolgia had a fantastic opportunity to put DamagedPeopleTM up another goal 73 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. 77 minutes in, an amazing pass from the left side resulted in a goal for the visitors, as G. Ciani anticipated the through ball and scored, reducing the deficit to 2 - 1. D. Paganelli was having a great game - if anything the pouring rain seemed to be spurring him on! After 82 minutes, the visitors tied it up at 2 - 2 when a fantastic pass from the left was finished off by G. Ciani. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Taras, with 55 percent of the ball.

H. Kist performed admirably for DamagedPeopleTM. However, M. Oliver made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Taras player was without a doubt D. Ingram. P. Lamanna on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 2.
