The following players had been chosen: Bardotti - Wälte, Chiariti, Gambirasio - MacAilin, Papalia, Cavaca, Rescigno, Szymanik - Atom, Speyer.

Hsmnch decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Geva - Mateos Romero, Giani, Viola - Ramflod, Xira, Bujakowski, Fuglsig, Palareti - Lualdi, Bucurescu.

Hsmnch seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Hsmnch were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. I. Xira came close to putting the visiting team one up 12 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but P. Bardotti managed to tip the ball to a corner. After 13 minutes, H. Atom came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving Beafootball the lead. L. Palareti of Hsmnch was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. H. Atom could have put Beafootball up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 22 minutes. The visitors almost came back with an equaliser 27 minutes into the match after a good combination down the middle, but when C. Lualdi tried to finish the attack, he couldn't deliver the shot hard enough to seriously challenge the keeper. Halftime score was 1 - 0. Beafootball claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 55 percent.

J. Szymanik's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert N. Speyer was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for Beafootball. 2 - 0. After 75 minutes, Hsmnch switched C. Lualdi with F. Gava, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. F. Gava of Hsmnch seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 2 - 1 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by L. Palareti. With 79 minutes played, Beafootball's H. Atom almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. Beafootball's N. Speyer saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 83 minutes. Beafootball put in a good effort on the right, but J. Cavaca saw his volley fly wide of the mark 84 minutes into the game. The visitors didn't give in and, after 85 minutes, A. Bucurescu got through the home side's central line of defence, rolling in the equaliser to make it 2 - 2. Possession in this half belonged to Beafootball, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

Beafootball's top performer was clearly H. Atom. P. Bardotti on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Hsmnch player was I. Xira. However, G. Geva made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 2.
