Starters: Trumpauskas - Luco, Pârvu, Caniceiro - Ottosen, Johansen, Frisgaard, Breedveld, Jia Chang - Osorio Burgos, Gerdgård.

They fielded: Habrat - Gallitognotta, Tikulin, Belisario, Dion, Caravantes - Ipanzer, Hagelstål, Freichel, Barriga - Ali.
Ikke. took the lead after 5 minutes as a result of
M. Osorio Burgos's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0.
L. Jia Chang of Ikke. was able to make an impressive rush past the sluggish
G. Gallitognotta, which resulted in a goal making the score 2 - 0.
Ikke.'s
L. Jia Chang saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 23 minutes.
K. Gerdgård could have increased the lead after 24 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park.
A well placed corner kick from
E. Freichel was followed by
D. Caravantes's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for Mancunia, the score now 2 - 1.
Ikke.'s
A. Johansen swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball.
F. Dion of Mancunia was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle.
The Ikke. free kick 40 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of
K. Gerdgård, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 3 - 1!
By now, the players in Ikke. felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward.
Things were going to get worse for the visitors.
C. Breedveld squirmed through their central defence after 41 minutes, increasing the lead to 4 - 1.
4 - 1 was the halftime score.

Ikke.'s
K. Frisgaard had an excellent opportunity after 66 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles!
68 minutes in, an amazing pass from the left side resulted in a goal for the visitors, as
E. Freichel anticipated the through ball and scored, reducing the deficit to 4 - 2.
Mancunia's
D. Caravantes got himself booked for a foul.
Ikke.'s
C. Pârvu struck his penalty well enough to beat the goalkeeper and extend the home team's lead to 5 - 2 after 75 minutes.
86 minutes into the game, Mancunia seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a
weak level of organisation.

Ikke.'s best player was
L. Jia Chang.
On the other hand,
N. Ottosen's play was disheartening.

M. Belisario made a disastrous appearance.
The match ends 5 - 2.
