UNITED clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for TRT. TRT bypassed the midfield with their counterattack, leading to a free kick goal by D. Alpdoğan for 0 - 1. Halftime score was 0 - 1. UNITED claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 66 percent.

48 minutes into the game TRT managed a counterattack, but T. Bajrektarevič took a soft shot from the left flank that was easy prey for the alert keeper. UNITED's A. Crego was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the opposition's box - A. Lapeña Gómez managed to volley one of them into the net to make it 1 - 1 after 55 minutes. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, R. Lovko got himself booked. The manager of UNITED was not happy. After 73 minutes TRT's P. Sedblom contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. UNITED had most of the ball, with 67 percent of possession.

Most important UNITED player was A. Lapeña Gómez. On the other hand, A. Višček's play was disheartening. O. Stamničar performed admirably for TRT. However, T. Bajrektarevič made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 1.
