Cuellarano started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Cucaller - Mira, Kvist, Gagaev, Jumel - Stocker, Chumaceiro, Tarradellas, Nilsson - Mora Martín, Macías Casado.

Cuellarano were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Eargasm made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left Y. Fanakis completely alone with keeper M. Cucaller, who made a spectacular block. The referee showed Eargasm's A. Hissek the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. U. Nilsson's knee will be throbbing for days, but thankfully for Cuellarano, he bravely continued in the match. M. Hyväkkä had a hard time on the waterlogged pitch - his trademark technique was nowhere in sight today. Eargasm were very close to putting themselves one up after 31 minutes as A. Hissek got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. Eargasm fans held their breath as F. Diehm scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 1 - 0! The visitors didn't give in and, after 39 minutes, J. Mora Martín got through the home side's central line of defence, rolling in the equaliser to make it 1 - 1. Eargasm's J. Mazkalns was shown a yellow card after 43 minutes for slicing down an opponent. It was 1 - 1 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Eargasm, with 63 percent of the ball.

They were singing the praises of R. Van Branden 55 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 2 - 1 to Eargasm. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Cuellarano's P. Kvist was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 70 minutes. T. Florit was given a chance to change things around. 71 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as J. Mazkalns broke through, making the score 3 - 1 for Eargasm. With 74 minutes played, Eargasm put themselves up 4 - 1 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to N. Sulc, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. L. Chumaceiro of Cuellarano seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 4 - 2 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by V. Stocker. Cheers filled the stadium as Y. Fanakis broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 5 - 2 to Eargasm. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Eargasm lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. 81 minutes in, Cuellarano's V. Stocker received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 82 minutes, Eargasm did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, K. Morrissey was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 6 - 2. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Eargasm coach let P. Mininni replace B. Gencer after 89 minutes. N. Sulc left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 89 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. A. Jurčič was the replacement. The Eargasm players could smell victory in the air. T. Variamidis wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for J. Spindler after 89 minutes. As the captain was no longer on the pitch, F. Diehm took over the role of being the Eargasm captain. Eargasm had most of the ball, with 57 percent of possession.

M. Hyväkkä performed admirably for Eargasm. On the other hand, A. Jurčič's play was disheartening. The most dominating Cuellarano player was without a doubt M. Cucaller. T. Jumel turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 6 - 2.
