The strategy for Blue Fire was to use their ability to press. K. Zaniatovich caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 6 minutes. This gave Zebrato the 1 - 0 lead. 10 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as C. De Benedictis broke through, making the score 2 - 0 for Zebrato. Zebrato's M. Schär got himself booked for a foul. Some things can only be learned through experience, and F. Schawinski should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting Blue Fire a goal with 19 minutes of the match played. 27 minutes into the game, Blue Fire seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to weak. 2 - 0 was the score after the first half. Zebrato enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 72 percent of possession.

A review of the gameplan helped Blue Fire get back to a passable organisation when the referee blew his whistle again. Blue Fire's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. 57 minutes in, Zebrato's C. De Benedictis received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. A. Englebert should probably have put his team up another goal after 59 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by A. Wołodko kept the visitors in the game. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Blue Fire's T. Bahler was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 75 minutes. J. Hase was given a chance to change things around. 78 minutes into the game, A. Wołodko had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came C. Angulo. As the captain was no longer on the pitch, J. Hase took over the role of being the Blue Fire captain. Blue Fire's ability to press all over the field frequently paid dividends. Blue Fire's J. Parreño was shown a yellow card after 83 minutes for slicing down an opponent. M. Schär's knee will be throbbing for days, but thankfully for Zebrato, he bravely continued in the match. With 85 minutes played, Zebrato put themselves up 3 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to A. Rydwański, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. M. Häffner of Blue Fire received a yellow card after 88 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. After 88 minutes, M. Schär put Zebrato ahead 4 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. After this, you could see that the players of Zebrato were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. 89 minutes into the game, Blue Fire seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a poor level of organisation. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Zebrato, with 70 percent of the ball.

Most important Zebrato player was A. Rydwański. K. Zaniatovich on the other hand, had a terrible day. Blue Fire's top performer was clearly T. Sterntaler. On the other hand, C. Angulo's play was disheartening. The match ends 4 - 0.
