Peshterski clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. Peshterski took the lead 13 minutes into the game by 1 - 0, as N. Hollenstedt elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. H. Glasauer squirmed through their central defence after 19 minutes, increasing the lead to 2 - 0. The Peshterski free kick 22 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of M. Kirchberg, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 3 - 0! Confident in their lead, Peshterski's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Peshterski, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Peshterski's M. Kirchberg increasing the lead to 4 - 0. Peshterski had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. Peshterski solidified their lead at the 31 minute mark, as K. Thatcher dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 5 - 0. ParmaBG's M. Varakyan got himself booked for a foul. A loud groan was heard from the fans of Peshterski, as H. Glasauer left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. B. Ağıt took his place on the field. Halftime score was 5 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Peshterski, who controlled the ball 80 percent of the time.

Some things can only be learned through experience, and A. Dundarov should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting Peshterski a goal with 69 minutes of the match played. Peshterski managed to extend their lead to 6 - 0 when B. Leuschner cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. Cheers filled the stadium as K. Siekierzyński broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 7 - 0 to Peshterski. Peshterski were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. 78 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as M. Kirchberg broke through, making the score 8 - 0 for Peshterski. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for M. Kirchberg. After 79 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and I. Kripāns gave the Peshterski supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 9 - 0. After 80 minutes Peshterski's B. Leuschner contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. R. Roshan increased the lead for Peshterski to 10 - 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! Peshterski enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 85 percent of possession.

The most dominating Peshterski player was without a doubt R. Roshan. B. Ağıt turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important ParmaBG player was K. Stanilov. P. Radev was a disappointment, however. The match ends 10 - 0.
