The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave J. Silber from Besaya a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 37 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! With 41 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 2 - 1 lead as T. Walthert flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. With 42 minutes played, Besaya's S. Górski almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. verneda.f.c's H. Ramos was shown a yellow card after 43 minutes for slicing down an opponent. A loud groan was heard from the fans of Besaya, as M. Bruhns left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. E. Tuppurainen took his place on the field. H. Ramos knew he was in trouble after hacking down an opponent. Despite his pleading with the referee, the verneda.f.c player was shown a second yellow card and dismissed from the game. It was 2 - 1 at the break. Besaya enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 56 percent of possession.

Rohde was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 72 minutes. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 73 minutes, Besaya did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, D. Villafáfila was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 5 - 2. After this, you could see that the players of Besaya were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. 78 minutes in, an amazing pass from the left side resulted in a goal for the visitors, as A. Hermann anticipated the through ball and scored, reducing the deficit to 5 - 3. Besaya's M. Cheng refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 81 minutes. S. Górski's speed was clear to see after 82 minutes, as he darted down the wing and released M. Cheng who placed the ball into the back of the net to make the score 6 - 3. After 85 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by M. Cheng might have resulted in another goal for Besaya. However, M. Ahicart made a spectacular save. Possession in this half belonged to Besaya, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

S. Górski performed admirably for Besaya. G. Finizio on the other hand, had a terrible day. verneda.f.c's best player was S. Rohde. M. Foche turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 6 - 3.
