Clouds darkened the skies at HAKERITE Arena as 25871 spectators turned up for the match. Czesław Marut was the appointed referee with assistance provided by 范 (Fan) 廷匀 (Tingyun) and Söhnke Weck. HAKERITE had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. They fielded: Jacuí - Piatrovich, Poels, Duszyński, Godtorp - Rossgatterer, Miladinov, Chanachev, Reis Rocha, Matarangolo - Bogaers.

DIZEL.United decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. Lineup: van Mieris - Sanjurjo, De Saegher, Goranov, Eril - Slavov, Melninkaitis, Janmaleki, Deliyski, Tonev - Vasilev.

It was an obvious ambition of HAKERITE to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. DIZEL.United took the lead 2 minutes into the game, making the score 0 - 1 after some elegant movement down the middle. Y. Deliyski was the scorer. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from K. Tonev after 26 minutes, and prevented DIZEL.United from going up another goal. Halftime score was 0 - 1. DIZEL.United enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 61 percent of possession.

The swift technical skills of H. Rossgatterer were often too much for the tall but somewhat slow K. Goranov who was humiliated after 61 minutes. He'll be breathing a huge sigh of relief after the final shot went wide. HAKERITE had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. The referee showed HAKERITE's H. Rossgatterer the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. K. Goranov of DIZEL.United was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. HAKERITE's J. Jacuí had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 83 minutes having been played. A. Dedikov was the replacement. DIZEL.United's A. Slavov proved that he's been around on a football pitch before, when he took advantage of a few moments of confusion in the opposition's defensive line and elegantly scored for 0 - 2. DIZEL.United had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

R. Bogaers performed admirably for HAKERITE. A. Dedikov on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important DIZEL.United player was Y. Deliyski. On the other hand, K. Goranov's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 2.
