Real Parru saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Today, Hazardi's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. Real Parru's L. Gabbrielli tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. One of many good crosses from L. Fibich on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by G. Amoriello, who scored for Hazardi. 0 - 1 With a shot curled in from just outside the middle of the penalty area after 31 minutes played, C. Wayand of Real Parru made the score 1 - 1. Halftime score was 1 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Hazardi, with 51 percent of the ball.

Real Parru fans held their breath as A. Collin scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 2 - 1! M. Hołod couldn't do anything to stop the technically gifted G. Amoriello as he dodged past on his way to scoring a wonderful goal for Hazardi - 2 - 2! With 68 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 3 - 2 lead as L. Gabbrielli flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. Real Parru solidified their lead at the 71 minute mark, as L. Georgizas dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 4 - 2. The Real Parru players could smell victory in the air. C. Wayand wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for A. Persico after 71 minutes. 77 minutes into the match, Hazardi replied and reduced the lead to 4 - 3. T. Stausholm scored on a marvellous cross pass coming in from the left. Hazardi were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. The visitors refused to give in and, after 80 minutes, Y. Saarikivi evened things up as he finished off a perfect pass from the right. 4 - 4 Hazardi had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

O. Jeskanen performed admirably for Real Parru. A. Persico turned in a dismal performance, however. Hazardi's top performer was clearly J. Vehka. However, W. Schreiter made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 4.
