Bourgeois mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. E. Raumonen dispatched a majestic long shot 4 minutes into the match, but missed the goal by a few metres. After 5 minutes, brazilian's P. Trung fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! Bourgeois broke through on the left 9 minutes into the game, with R. Klostertor firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. With 14 minutes played, P. Makman could have brought this one home for Bourgeois as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. 19 minutes into the game, Bourgeois were awarded a penalty that Á. Corbarán turned into 2 - 0 without a problem. Bourgeois players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. 21 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as O. Mallma broke through, making the score 3 - 0 for Bourgeois. Confident in their lead, Bourgeois's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. 3 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Bourgeois, with 83 percent of the ball.

P. Linsmayer wanted to play on, but the Bourgeois coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 48 minutes into the game by K. Robbins. Cheers filled the stadium as R. Klostertor broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 4 - 0 to Bourgeois. Bourgeois managed to extend their lead to 5 - 0 when V. Lomba cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. B. Dervarics left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 69 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. G. Martinez was the replacement. With 70 minutes played, Bourgeois put themselves up 6 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to R. Klostertor, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. This third goal completed a hattrick for R. Klostertor. After 82 minutes brazilian's S. Mueller contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. The coach of Bourgeois was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 83 minutes, J. Verhulst came on for I. Bertrand. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 83 minutes, Bourgeois did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, F. Legrand was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 7 - 0. The referee showed brazilian's S. Mueller the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. There was no way Bourgeois's V. De Benedetto could continue to play after this, and no replacements were available! Bourgeois solidified their lead at the 85 minute mark, as R. Klostertor dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 8 - 0. J. Verhulst sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from Á. Corbarán after 88 minutes of play, making the score 9 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Bourgeois, who controlled the ball 86 percent of the time.

Bourgeois's best player was V. Lomba. K. Robbins turned in a dismal performance, however. T. Garmston performed admirably for brazilian. E. Smith on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 9 - 0.
