25787 punters turned up at └┼┘▓ ßßK ▓└┼┘, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Simon Ederer was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Henri Schulz and Xavier Kowalczyk. Badboys started off with a 4-3-3 lineup. Lineup: Brihuega - Baltasar, Cantalapiedra, Cotón, Velarroa - Carmona, Cabral, Salisbury - Babra, Urtzelai, Cirna.

blaugrana decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Starters: Zawiszewski - Svold, Bango, Baicu - Mustafa, Sotelo, Brechet, Ruckinger, Berthold - Mušan, Sädelahti.

Badboys were relying on their ability to counter-attack. After 12 minutes, the defensive line of Badboys created a counterattack through the middle that gave C. Carmona a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. 30 minutes into the match, blaugrana nearly took the lead, as P. Svold broke through on the right. F. Brihuega made the save, however. P. Svold had a good try after 31 minutes, coming in on a fine move from the left, but the ball went wide. With 34 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, C. Carmona needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. 39 minutes in, blaugrana's A. Sädelahti received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. blaugrana claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 66 percent.

As the 48 minute mark approached, the blaugrana coach decided it was time for a substitution. S. Mustafa reluctantly made way for J. Eggenkamp on the pitch. Badboys made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left L. Cirna completely alone with keeper M. Zawiszewski, who made a spectacular block. With 58 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending. C. Sotelo put the ball away for 0 - 1. A. Sädelahti could have put his team up another goal 60 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. With the scoreboard showing that 62 minutes had been played, blaugrana nearly put themselves up another goal after J. Eggenkamp came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. With the clock showing 63 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of Badboys resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by J. Velarroa in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. A. Sädelahti was, after 65 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper F. Brihuega made the save. blaugrana enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 66 percent of possession.

Badboys's best player was C. Babra. On the other hand, J. Cabral's play was disheartening. The most dominating blaugrana player was without a doubt A. Sädelahti. I. Baicu turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 1.
