A scorching day at Fortet, where 57882 spectators were in place for today's match. Ali Fuat Gülören was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Ming Han chieh and Fabio Amorfini. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Ruter7. The following players took the field: Arntsen - Rouzic, Troìa, Sundby - Benjaminsen, Sekse, Dale, Tomter, Jakobsen - Jakobsen, Fréry.

Varatun decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Thybo - Andersen, Ingesson, Marthinussen - Kristensen, Bergo, Albanese, Nilsen, Lillegård - Haken, Florea.

It was an obvious ambition of Ruter7 to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. A. Fréry gave Ruter7 the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 M. Jakobsen left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 7 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. S. Nerhus was the replacement. Ruter7's S. Nerhus got himself booked for a foul. With 27 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of Ruter7 resulted in a counterattack that set A. Fréry free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. Proving his experience, S. Florea scored 1 - 1 for Varatun after putting some pressure on the opposing defence at a critical moment. Varatun's A. Bergo was shown a yellow card after 42 minutes for slicing down an opponent. It was 1 - 1 at the break. Varatun enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

75 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Varatun substitution. S. Toifl came on for J. Ingesson. After 75 minutes, the Varatun coach had a quick word about the tactical set-up and decided to try another approach. The coach of Varatun wanted to try to change things around after 75 minutes, and gave new tactical instructions. The sun seemed to put A. Fréry in a great mood, and he showed off his technical skills all match long. 89 minutes into the game, Ruter7 had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to weak. After 89 minutes, Varatun's S. Lillegård made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 1 - 2. The Ruter7 players listened closely to their manager, as he gave new tactical instructions for the team. Unhappy with the result so far in the game, the Ruter7 manager used a brief break in play after 89 minutes to give the players new directives. O. Albanese increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 1 - 3. Varatun had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

A. Fréry performed admirably for Ruter7. On the other hand, A. Jakobsen's play was disheartening. Varatun's top performer was clearly S. Toifl. T. Marthinussen on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 3.
