Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Sosed. Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of matomato. With 5 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as V. Sapunarov flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. matomato's G. Gundermann had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 22 minutes having been played. A. Haas was the replacement. A counterattack by Sosed after 23 minutes could have resulted in a goal, but G. Kozlina, coming in on the left, couldn't get the shot off. V. Sapunarov was uncomfortable with the soggy pitch as he couldn't move the ball around with his usual grace. 1 - 0 was the score after the first half. matomato had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Sosed to 2 - 0 as V. Sapunarov finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave G. Kozlina from Sosed a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 82 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Sosed's J. Wild swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. G. Kozlina had a fantastic opportunity to put Sosed up another goal 86 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. Possession was split evenly between the teams.

Sosed's top performer was clearly J. Wild. E. Wiesinger was a disappointment, however. The most dominating matomato player was without a doubt G. Ternullo. On the other hand, Y. Yiannopoulatos's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 0.
