The following players took the field: Briga - Atouguia, Esseveld, Skřivánek - Jelovčan, Højer Nielsen, Vervoort, Lebacq, Neugebauer - Guglielmi, Ahlling.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for zarica. Brezgalica took the lead after 10 minutes as a result of A. Neugebauer's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. With 19 minutes played, Brezgalica's U. Guglielmi almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. Brezgalica increased the lead as A. Neugebauer struck to make the score 2 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. A well placed corner kick from S. Gargantilla was followed by C. Seghir's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for zarica, the score now 2 - 1. 30 minutes into the game zarica's S. Korday found a gap in the home side's central defence and scored with a fabulous shot, making it 2 - 2. It might be a while before the fans see Brezgalica's P. Ahlling again, after he had to leave the field in great distress at the 31 minute mark. He was replaced by N. Zalogar. 2 - 2 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Brezgalica, with 58 percent of the ball.

Brezgalica took the lead 79 minutes in, as D. Atouguia broke through on the left and put the 3 - 2 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, R. Jelovčan got himself booked. The manager of Brezgalica was not happy. Brezgalica's D. Atouguia was shown a yellow card after 85 minutes for slicing down an opponent. U. Guglielmi increased the lead for Brezgalica to 4 - 2, 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! After this, you could see that the players of Brezgalica were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. A great save by keeper A. Poreber after 87 minutes kept the visitors in the game after U. Guglielmi struck from the left with a real cannonball. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Brezgalica to 5 - 2 as D. Atouguia finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. Possession in this half belonged to Brezgalica, who controlled the ball 61 percent of the time.

Brezgalica's top performer was clearly A. Briga. N. Zalogar was a disappointment, however. zarica's best player was S. Korday. However, S. Gargantilla made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 5 - 2.
