Nőtincs started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup: Holoker - Damm, Csákány, Dubini - Major, Laamers, Nehring, Rampone, Gigio - Svensson, Lackanović.

Tragi had a good opportunity to take the lead as I. Bondarenko came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of Š. Holoker. After a fine move down the middle M. Szombath nearly gave the home side a goal after 23 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. Nőtincs's J. Lackanović gave the visitors a 0 - 1 lead after 28 minutes with a superb strike from the right. 35 minutes in, Nőtincs's K. Major received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. Tragi claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

After 53 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave J. Lackanović a chance to increase the lead for Nőtincs, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 2. The bench was restless, and with 55 minutes passed Tragi's coach gave H. Schröferl the opportunity the player had been hoping for. V. Onishenko reluctantly left the field. Tragi needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 61 minutes J. de Orleans made way for I. Roslik. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Tragi's K. Shengelia was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 70 minutes. P. Popa was given a chance to change things around. M. Szombath of Tragi was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. The visitors' L. Csákány took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 78 minutes into the match. 0 - 3 for Nőtincs. Confident in their lead, Nőtincs's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Tragi had most of the ball, with 53 percent of possession.

The most dominating Tragi player was without a doubt P. Grönborg. A. Kuangaliyev turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important Nőtincs player was J. Lackanović. On the other hand, K. Major's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 3.
