A brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 12000 to Fanitus areena. Richard Clutton-Brock was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Yakir Fridman and Giancarlo Mutis. fanit2 tactics involved an interesting 3-4-3 combination. The following players took the field: Agha Ebrahimian - Dejean, Kohonen, Kannisto - Mulders, Kawulok, Kondor, 望嵩 (Wangsong) - de la Calle, Gavranović, Snell.

Lappeenranta had chosen a strategic 5-3-2 formation. Starters: Parreño - Aponte, Thanailakis, Fattor, Graat, Fuhrmann - Frydryk, Launiainen, Veldermann - Turkstra, Kaskela.

Lappeenranta immediately set off using their skill at pressing their opponents. As the 1 minute mark approached, the Lappeenranta coach decided it was time for a substitution. E. Frydryk reluctantly made way for J. Vermant on the pitch. Many thought L. Kawulok ought to have been awarded a penalty 16 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around M. Parreño after a determined run through the middle. They were singing the praises of A. Gavranović 22 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 1 - 0 to fanit2. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0. fanit2 had most of the ball, with 66 percent of possession.

48 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as M. Mulders broke through, making the score 2 - 0 for fanit2. Lappeenranta's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. 71 minutes into the game, I. Kaskela finished off a Lappeenranta left wing counterattack, making the score 2 - 1. After 80 minutes Lappeenranta's J. Turkstra contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. fanit2's L. Kawulok was shown a yellow card after 81 minutes for slicing down an opponent. fanit2 enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 66 percent of possession.

fanit2's best player was M. Kondor. J. Kohonen on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Lappeenranta player was I. Kaskela. On the other hand, O. Fuhrmann's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 1.
