Pressing was the tactic of the day for GONJIAM. GONJIAM's B. Song got himself booked for a foul. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 34 minutes into the match left Vikings's Y. Lee completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. With 37 minutes played, GONJIAM's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to Y. Choi he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 1 - 1. 1 - 1 was the halftime score. Vikings enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 68 percent of possession.

Vikings's Y. Kim showed his experience, anticipating the outcome of the opponent's defensive clearance and positioning himself perfectly to volley in an unstoppable shot from the edge of the box. 1 - 2. Vikings increased the lead to 1 - 3 as G. Seuten scored from the penalty spot, putting the ball in near the top left corner. By now, the players in Vikings felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. The pressing tactics used by GONJIAM were successful as the ball remained close to the half way line at all times. At this time in the match, GONJIAM were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Vikings, with 69 percent of the ball.

The most dominating GONJIAM player was without a doubt G. Flaugnacco. B. Song was a disappointment, however. Vikings's top performer was clearly Y. Ahn. However, H. Yun made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 3.
