25084 spectators had come to Hakeem Heroes Arena this cloudy day. Alberto Rey León was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Tom Van Hissenhoven and Jens Wüthrich. A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Hakeem. The following players took the field: Manfredi - Brad, Criado, Kneib - Barišić, Trippen, Kryszak, Jelonek - Soteliño, Anido Hermida, Balsells.

hojpi tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Garastas - Kessenich, Frechilla, Weasley - Gaines, Gobbens, Arnao, Kinyua, Turgaç - Tuominen, Orozco.

Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 11 minutes, Hakeem did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, T. Jelonek was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 1 - 0. After 19 minutes a very unfortunate collision in the penalty area led to Hakeem's C. Criado being carried off the pitch and replaced by V. Shcherbin. P. Balsells should probably have put his team up another goal after 20 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by S. Garastas kept the visitors in the game. Halftime score was 1 - 0. Hakeem claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 55 percent.

hojpi's A. Frechilla scored to make the score 1 - 1 after 50 minutes by shooting accurately and hard from a long distance, leaving the opponent keeper no other option than to pick the ball out of the net. A. Kneib gave Hakeem the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 2 - 1 P. Balsells could have put Hakeem up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 69 minutes. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Hakeem's D. Kryszak increasing the lead to 3 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to Hakeem, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.

Most important Hakeem player was E. Soteliño. J. Anido Hermida was a disappointment, however. hojpi's best player was S. Garastas. A. Frechilla turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 1.
