Clear skies welcomed the 41533 spectators who had made their way to

The following players took the field: Flambrant - Saari, Merino Sancho, Valtiner - Kohlhaas, Wilmsen, Gruyters, Stau - Mihaită, Selinger, Ravdanis.
Panamka clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle.
Tiroll showed off their creative tactics.
Panamka took the lead 2 minutes into the game by 1 - 0, as
R. Ljubović elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar.
A great save by keeper
J. Flambrant after 9 minutes kept the visitors in the game after
D. Valadares struck from the left with a real cannonball.
R. Ljubović should probably have put his team up another goal after 14 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by
J. Flambrant kept the visitors in the game.
A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Panamka's
V. Barygin increasing the lead to 2 - 0.
By now, the players in Panamka felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward.
With 23 minutes played, Panamka put themselves up 3 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to
D. Valadares, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home.
Tiroll's
J. Flambrant had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 27 minutes having been played.
E. Nijeveen was the replacement.
3 - 0 was the halftime score.
Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Panamka, with 63 percent of the ball.

Panamka managed to extend their lead to 4 - 0 when
M. Custódio cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper.
D. Valadares had a fantastic opportunity to put Panamka up another goal 66 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar.
Panamka had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks.
After 73 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by

E. Nijeveen made a spectacular save.
75 minutes into the match
J. Sery put Panamka ahead 5 - 0 with a truly marvelous free kick.

E. Nijeveen turned in a dismal performance, however.
The match ends 5 - 0.
