25238 spectators had come to Stadium of Storms this cloudy day. Leonardo Botero was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jöns Håkansson and Arnold Ida. S.C.U.T. tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Parada - da Fonseca, Martins Borges, Aittomäki - Roué, Alexandre, Raimundo, Casa-Velha, Blom - das Neves, Sousa Pereira.

FC.RA had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. Starters: Petrović - Acić, Bandeira, Gerard, Martins Moura - Di Dio, Pereira, Martins, Kuchma - Russeil, Silva Simões.

S.C.U.T.'s J. Aittomäki got himself booked for a foul. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to A. das Neves, but the S.C.U.T. player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! After 22 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by R. Alexandre might have resulted in another goal for S.C.U.T.. However, D. Petrović made a spectacular save. S.C.U.T. put themselves up 2 - 0 when A. das Neves broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. 38 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as H. Sousa Pereira broke through, making the score 3 - 0 for S.C.U.T.. By now, the players in S.C.U.T. felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. FC.RA kept trying to force their way through on the right side and S. Russeil got his chance after 40 minutes, but the home side's defence held their position and stopped the attack. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 0. S.C.U.T. enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 66 percent of possession.

Things were going to get worse for the visitors. H. Raimundo squirmed through their central defence after 68 minutes, increasing the lead to 4 - 0. Coming from the right, F. da Fonseca almost managed to score another goal for S.C.U.T., but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of S.C.U.T. to 5 - 0 as S. Casa-Velha finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. S.C.U.T. claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 67 percent.

H. Sousa Pereira performed admirably for S.C.U.T.. H. Raimundo on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating FC.RA player was without a doubt J. Silva Simões. On the other hand, D. Petrović's play was disheartening. The match ends 5 - 0.
