LONSDALE had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. They fielded: Rødkjær - Balázs, Carenzi, Urošević, Pápai - Městka, Nascimento, Frostendahl, Huč, Świętek - Pretashi.

Nomaam decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Uhrin - Torbavecz, Endrei, Fortzek - Verhaar, Bernardi, Kriskó, Precisamente, De Sousa - Ånglund, Tokody.

LONSDALE were relying on their ability to counter-attack. Nomaam had a magnificent opportunity after 14 minutes as I. Kriskó hit the ball hard from the edge of the penalty box. However, the shot went wide. A foul after 30 minutes resulted in a free kick. Z. Pápai cannonballed it, giving the home team the lead 1 - 0. The home side's E. Pretashi came close to extending the lead 35 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but K. Uhrin managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. G. Huč could have increased the lead after 36 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. 1 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession of the ball saw an equal split between the teams during the forty-five minutes.

E. Pretashi unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. Nomaam's G. De Sousa made use of his speed to get free of the defence, but he still couldn't get a shot off 53 minutes into the match. LONSDALE claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

The most dominating LONSDALE player was without a doubt G. Carenzi. P. Świętek turned in a dismal performance, however. Nomaam's top performer was clearly Á. Endrei. On the other hand, G. De Sousa's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 0.
