It was a hot and sunny day, and several players seemed worn out. Maybe this was why G. Dikov found an unusual amount of space for his snappy footwork. 84 minutes into the game, 裕. 岡村 (Okamura) had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide. A well placed corner kick from W. Szul was followed by J. Lodītis's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for cga, the score now 1 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by S&Y, with 56 percent of the ball.

J. Lodītis performed admirably for cga. J. Diníz on the other hand, had a terrible day. S&Y's top performer was clearly P. Korpinen. On the other hand, 裕. 岡村 (Okamura)'s play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 0.
