A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Megadeth. Starters: Volotek - Giovannini, Hilke, Fischer-Lossainen - Colliot, Aceña, Zielke, Pelhate, Buta - Däwitz, Frels.

Chelsea BA tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. Lineup: Luijpers - Minočko, Martoňák - Kaipf, Vaculčík, Filipko, Bélteki, Binda - Perovský, Malovík, Nemoda.

Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 17 minutes into the match, and F. Malovík wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. Megadeth's I. Buta had a hard, curved free kick after 18 minutes that would have paid off, had it gone just a little lower. 22 minutes in, Chelsea BA's F. Malovík received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. F. Giovannini of Megadeth had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. I. Charatsis came in to finish the match. 28 minutes in, and Megadeth were able to score the equalising goal to make it 1 - 1 when I. Däwitz picked up a pass coming in from the right and chipped it past the away team's keeper. I. Buta of Megadeth was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. With 32 minutes played, I. Däwitz of Megadeth fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. The crowd groaned its disapproval when I. Buta missed a free kick that would have given Megadeth the lead after 37 minutes. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave J. Hilke from Megadeth a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 41 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! T. Biras was called on to replace Megadeth's R. Fischer-Lossainen after 42 minutes following a nasty collision. Halftime score was 1 - 1. Megadeth enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 58 percent of possession.

A scuffle developed as players from both sides clashed following a tussle in the centre of the field 54 minutes into the match. After regaining order and consulting his linesman, the referee called Chelsea BA's R. Filipko to one side and produced a red card for the player. The cannonball from 35 metres by J. Hilke of Megadeth was an impressive sight, but didn't make it into the net. After a fine move down the middle N. Colliot nearly gave the home side a goal after 64 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. Megadeth had to manage with a reduced squad after 65 minutes, as I. Charatsis got sent off for a needless foul away from the game's action. B. Nemoda's lightning pace was too much for T. Biras who could only look on as the Chelsea BA player blasted one home. 1 - 2. The crowd was on its feet 73 minutes into the match, as Megadeth's S. Zielke found himself unmarked in front of the goal after a dash up the left side. He calmly put away the 2 - 2 equaliser. 76 minutes into the match and the home team took a 3 - 2 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for Megadeth was I. Däwitz. 77 minutes into the game, B. Luijpers had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came D. Berlijn. Possession in this half belonged to Megadeth, who controlled the ball 65 percent of the time.

Megadeth's top performer was clearly N. Pelhate. However, T. Biras made a disastrous appearance. Most important Chelsea BA player was M. Perovský. D. Berlijn was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 2.
