26248 punters turned up at IT Arena, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Rogério Alcarva was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Uwe Botschen and Niklas Gunnarsson. InkognitoTeam had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Gardounis - Güçlü, Lukas, Dorner - Boyce, Silventoinen, Winick, Gäbert, Lallinger - Gheorghitã, Rosenø.

Nordsturm started off with a 4-3-3 lineup. Lineup: Dobias - 成华 (Chenghua) , Cacho, Strohalm, Wursche - Normann, Szerencsi, Horta - Garbela, Walt, Dufter.

For their match strategy, Nordsturm had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of Nordsturm's M. Garbela after 10 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 0 - 1 lead. Some fine passing in the middle of the pitch, carving open the away defence, should have led to a goal for InkognitoTeam, but B. Gäbert's shot went over the bar. Nordsturm's defence sent a ball soaring up the middle on a beautiful counterattack with 27 minutes gone, but L. Strohalm's finish was met by the reaching hands of the keeper. After 32 minutes, InkognitoTeam sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached J. Silventoinen, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 1 - 1. 1 - 1 was the score after the first half. InkognitoTeam claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 72 percent.

The referee showed InkognitoTeam's D. Lukas the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 79 minutes allowed M. Walt to score for Nordsturm. The scoreboard now read 1 - 2. B. Gäbert's lack of experience almost gave Nordsturm a goal after 84 minutes, but the shot went right into the keeper's arms. Possession in this half belonged to InkognitoTeam, who controlled the ball 70 percent of the time.

Most important InkognitoTeam player was G. Winick. On the other hand, B. Gäbert's play was disheartening. A. Szerencsi performed admirably for Nordsturm. R. Horta on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 2.
