The crowd of 27103 turning up at Stapel Center Stadium today were greeted with some nasty showers of rain.

They fielded: Amura - Badorrey, Audergon, Laßberg - Coscoñas, Bloemen, Wyglądacz, Boulanger, Proveniers - Feszler, Kutěj.

Berenjenas started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Vasconcelos - Jagelek, Krondahl, Chudecki - Mazon, Domingues, Aarsleff, Gutiérrez, Camarinha - Lacchini, Virga.

Pressing was the tactic of the day for SusanaTeam88. The pressing tactics used by SusanaTeam88 were successful as the ball remained close to the half way line at all times. The home side put themselves ahead 1 - 0 after 23 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from J. Boulanger, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. Berenjenas were close to putting the equaliser away after 24 minutes as the opposing defence lost control of the ball to F. Camarinha in a scuffle towards the left of the goal, but in the end the ball was cleared over the dead ball line. SusanaTeam88 increased the lead as Z. Feszler struck to make the score 2 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. SusanaTeam88's J. Kutěj saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 41 minutes. Halftime score was 2 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Berenjenas, who controlled the ball 53 percent of the time.

SusanaTeam88's S. Badorrey swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. E. Coscoñas left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 60 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. S. Ballús was the replacement. The coach of SusanaTeam88 was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 60 minutes, K. Tornøe came on for P. Bloemen. J. Kutěj wanted to play on, but the SusanaTeam88 coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 60 minutes into the game by J. Modafferi. A well placed corner kick from D. Krondahl was followed by S. Mazon's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for Berenjenas, the score now 2 - 1. J. Modafferi should probably have put his team up another goal after 76 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by A. Vasconcelos kept the visitors in the game. Berenjenas needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 77 minutes L. Gutiérrez made way for J. Vigo. The visitors kept the pressure on to tie the game when, after 77 minutes, F. Camarinha broke through the centre and found himself alone with the keeper. A. Amura made a great block, though. The bench was restless, and with 80 minutes passed Berenjenas's coach gave E. Desfrán the opportunity the player had been hoping for. D. Virga reluctantly left the field. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of SusanaTeam88 to 3 - 1 as Z. Feszler finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. With 84 minutes played, the Berenjenas coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. N. Brezak came on, M. Jagelek had to leave the fray. With 85 minutes played, SusanaTeam88 put themselves up 4 - 1 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to S. Ballús, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. Berenjenas enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

SusanaTeam88's top performer was clearly A. Amura. S. Ballús turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating Berenjenas player was without a doubt C. Domingues. However, N. Brezak made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 1.
