Starters: Shalyapin - Zelinskiy, Utemov, Krivovyaz, Bulakaev - Parshikov, Vasyutinskiy, Makarchenko, Valevskiy - Beglov, Sukhonenkov.

The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave B. Smolkin from Kudrinka a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 11 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! M. Utemov of juventus34 had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. L. Sedachev came in to finish the match. L. Sedachev became the new juventus34 captain. Kudrinka took the lead after 18 minutes making the score 0 - 1. N. Nelyubin placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. B. Smolkin of Kudrinka took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 23 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 2. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Kudrinka lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Kudrinka's V. Aydarov was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 24 minutes. With 32 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed N. Nelyubin of Kudrinka to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 3. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 3. Kudrinka had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

After 50 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave Y. Vorobiev a chance to increase the lead for Kudrinka, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 4. G. Novikov came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over O. Shalyapin but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. Kudrinka claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 56 percent.

The most dominating juventus34 player was without a doubt G. Sukhonenkov. However, L. Sedachev made a disastrous appearance. Kudrinka's best player was I. Zamyatin. A. Tazov was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 4.
