MTE displayed their ability to play creatively.
MTE took the lead after 2 minutes as a result of
E. Amoliņš's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0.
M. Mekcsey, who often relies on his speed, had a rotten day on the drenched grass.
With 27 minutes played, MTE put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to
B. Smiljanić, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home.
A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of MTE to 3 - 0 as
K. Gędek finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle.
Confident in their lead, MTE's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it.
Halftime score was 3 - 0.
MTE had most of the ball, with 65 percent of possession.
C. Rodrigues Marques almost put MTE ahead another goal when he curled a free kick over the defensive wall and almost into the net, but the visitors' keeper got there just in time to knock it wide.
Things were going to get worse for the visitors.
A. Santos Romão squirmed through their central defence after 66 minutes, increasing the lead to 4 - 0.
The boggy pitch disrupted the game, especially for technical players like
Á. Séra.
MTE's
F. Gradea increased the lead to 5 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 77 minutes.
N. Vanhoucke hit the corner kick straight to the keeper, but it was mishandled, giving MTE's
A. Santos Romão an easy chance to knock it in for 6 - 0.

A. Santos Romão was shown a yellow card after 81 minutes for slicing down an opponent.

M. Bojin struck to make the score 8 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper.
