Making his way up the middle 19 minutes into the match, V. Bolić almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert D. Grosch blocked it to keep the score level. After a fine move down the middle V. Együd nearly gave the home side a goal after 27 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. Vranjak claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.

The coach of Vranjak wanted to try to change things around after 50 minutes, and gave new tactical instructions. 50 minutes into the match, the Vranjak manager wanted to try a new tactic, and the players loyally obliged. 60 minutes into the game, Vranjak wanted to bring some new energy to their game. R. Krassenburg gave Q. Vallot a quick hug as he left the field. Q. Vallot was the new captain of Vranjak - handed the armband by the departing player. As the 60 minute mark approached, the Vranjak coach decided it was time for a substitution. V. Bolić reluctantly made way for J. Alix on the pitch. Vranjak's J. Mattinen had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 67 minutes having been played. J. Tikkanen was the replacement. The intense heat forced S. Takounaras into making some errors because he couldn't seem to keep up with the others. Vranjak took the lead 86 minutes into the game by 1 - 0, as S. Takounaras elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. With 88 minutes played, Q. Vallot could have brought this one home for Vranjak as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. R. Gusmik increased the lead for Vranjak to 2 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! The visitors got one back when F. Moniz finished off a pass from the left and scored after 89 minutes. 2 - 1 was the score. Vranjak enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 57 percent of possession.

Most important Vranjak player was N. Toholj. R. Nielsen on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating OKS Selva player was without a doubt P. Stefanoni. F. Moniz turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 1.
