57032 spectators arrived at Christiansand stars Arena, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Gilarranz Torres was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Immánuel Lukáts and Francesco Trevelin. Christiansand decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Bowens - Armati, Halevi, Feßler - Jørgensen, Leine, Leine, Torp, Balling - Gonser, Özerek.

Ildregn had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation. The following players had been chosen: Løken - Paulsen, Nyhus - Monsen, Winjum, Pedersen, Nielsen, Rønne - Hagen, Larsen, Skrivervik.

Christiansand tried to focus their attacks down the middle. Ildregn used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. Christiansand took the lead 2 minutes into the game by 1 - 0, as G. Feßler elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Christiansand to 2 - 0 as H. Leine finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Christiansand lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. The score became 3 - 0 at 22 minutes into the game, when Christiansand were given a penalty which J. Torp blasted straight down the middle giving the keeper no chance! Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Christiansand, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Christiansand's B. Gonser increasing the lead to 4 - 0. Halftime score was 4 - 0. Christiansand had most of the ball, with 67 percent of possession.

The bench was restless, and with 46 minutes passed Ildregn's coach gave J. Khan the opportunity the player had been hoping for. K. Nyhus reluctantly left the field. Christiansand's T. Halevi swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. E. Özerek could have increased the lead after 60 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. 69 minutes into the match, Ildregn replied and reduced the lead to 4 - 1. A. Winjum scored on a marvellous cross pass coming in from the left. Christiansand put in a good effort on the right, but H. Leine saw his volley fly wide of the mark 76 minutes into the game. After 77 minutes, J. Torp sent the corner kick right to E. Özerek who headed it sharply past the keeper. 5 - 1! 81 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as E. Özerek broke through, making the score 6 - 1 for Christiansand. Ildregn's O. Paulsen got himself booked for a foul. Christiansand were forced into a substitution as J. Torp couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing V. Backe to come in off the bench. The Christiansand captaincy was handed to Ø. Leine. Ildregn made it 6 - 2 as J. Skrivervik got a touch to the floated corner kick and flicked the ball to H. Pedersen who whipped a low drive in off the far post. Christiansand players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. Christiansand solidified their lead at the 88 minute mark, as P. Armati dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 7 - 2. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Christiansand, with 70 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Christiansand player was without a doubt Ø. Leine. P. Jørgensen was a disappointment, however. Most important Ildregn player was J. Skrivervik. A. Løken on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 7 - 2.
