Clear skies welcomed the 41510 spectators who had made their way to A*A Arena. Alois Gruber was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Matt Hvalsøe Schou and Sebastian Ali. A*A decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Marszałek - Neynski, Shulman, Fruzza - Mikel, Tzenkov, Borgovski, Olsar, Berkovic - Yermiyan, Noel.

Urosi started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup: Vottonen - Cojocaru, Rossano, Aguilar Bustamante - Chinkov, Ludwiszewski, Stadden, Sharabi, Börjesson - Wendler, Szreder.

The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to A. Yermiyan, but the A*A player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! Urosi tied it all up, 9 minutes in, after a spectacular goal by M. Sharabi, who miraculously broke through the home side's central defence, making it 1 - 1. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave N. Wendler from Urosi a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 14 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! A. Piriquito was called on to replace A*A's A. Yermiyan after 21 minutes following a nasty collision. Urosi took the lead after D. Stadden curved a free kick into the net. 1 - 2 After 31 minutes of play, Z. Noel evened things up for A*A with an impressive goal coming up the middle. 2 - 2. After 37 minutes, P. Fruzza came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 3 - 2, giving A*A the lead. With 38 minutes played, K. Szreder came in from the right and could have evened the score, but the defenders successfully repelled the attack by Urosi. 3 - 2 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to A*A, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

The visiting team's K. Szreder was able to score the 3 - 3 equaliser with a header 48 minutes into the match, after some good work on the right. 52 minutes in, A*A's A. Piriquito received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. A loud groan was heard from the fans of Urosi, as J. Aguilar Bustamante left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. I. Yanev took his place on the field. The guests took the lead 72 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in N. Wendler scoring to make it 3 - 4. After 73 minutes of play, T. Neynski equalised for A*A after an elegant attack from the right. A lovely run by A*A's A. Piriquito left his markers for dead and should have resulted in a goal, but the finish went just wide. Urosi's M. Sharabi managed to lose the defenders as he advanced down the right wing and scored, putting the visitors ahead after 77 minutes. 4 - 5. With 82 minutes having been played, A*A scored to make it 5 - 5. A dribble down the left wing, followed by a shot which took a wicked bounce off a defender resulted in the keeper having no chance. Everyone thought it'd been an own goal, but Z. Noel was marked down as the scorer. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by A*A, with 52 percent of the ball.

The most dominating A*A player was without a doubt Z. Noel. A. Piriquito on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Urosi player was K. Szreder. However, I. Yanev made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 5 - 5.
