Juve4ever23 saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Usap used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave A. Fiumara from Usap a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 26 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! After 31 minutes Juve4ever23's Y. bin Khairuddin limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. After some beautiful movement down the left wing, E. Dardari scored for Juve4ever23 putting them ahead 1 - 0, after 37 minutes. Juve4ever23 will have to do without A. Gambogi for a time, due to a bad foot injury at the 43 minute mark. He was substituted by M. Francani. With 44 minutes played, the visitors almost levelled the score. E. Berko shot a hard curved free kick, striking the post. 1 - 0 was the halftime score. Usap claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

After 58 minutes, Juve4ever23's D. Petrilli found the back of the goal with a beautiful free kick. 2 - 0. Almost all the way down to the corner flag, Juve4ever23's E. Dardari somehow managed to get a perfect pass into the middle, impossible to miss for S. Marinache, who struck for 3 - 0. E. Berko had a lethal looking free kick that grazed the post after 60 minutes. Usap reduced the lead after 71 minutes to 3 - 1 as E. Berko easily chipped the ball past the home side's keeper after a dazzling play from the right. Juve4ever23's R. Worch got himself booked for a foul. A. Lintula of Usap had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. E. Kriisa came in to finish the match. After 80 minutes, Usap switched K. Ehrmann with M. Kuusisto, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. It was obvious that team Usap had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. The visitors replied 81 minutes into the game, reducing the home side's lead to 3 - 2, as J. Monasterio dashed up the middle, easily lobbing the ball over the home team's keeper. Usap had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

Juve4ever23's best player was S. Marinache. M. Francani was a disappointment, however. Most important Usap player was E. Civerra. U. Brarup on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 2.
