The wings were the focus of most of Devils's attacks today. ZwoleniankaMKS were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. The rain made it hard for players like R. Azzolini to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. ZwoleniankaMKS's J. Paullin managed to lose the defenders as he advanced down the right wing and scored, putting the visitors ahead after 7 minutes. 0 - 1. Devils's A. Pursey put his head to a high ball coming in from the right after 11 minutes, but the ball went wide. 25 minutes in, Devils's A. Pursey received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Devils were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. With 29 minutes having been played, Devils scored to make it 1 - 1. A dribble down the left wing, followed by a shot which took a wicked bounce off a defender resulted in the keeper having no chance. Everyone thought it'd been an own goal, but B. Nikonenko was marked down as the scorer. Devils were very close to putting themselves one up after 30 minutes as R. Zalaya got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. After 31 minutes, G. Nahapetyan came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 2 - 1, giving Devils the lead. It was 2 - 1 at the break. Devils claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

After 57 minutes, Devils's A. Pursey found the back of the goal with a beautiful free kick. 3 - 1. Confident in their lead, Devils's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Coming from the right, R. Chay almost managed to score another goal for Devils, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. G. Nahapetyan unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. ZwoleniankaMKS's K. Hampel showed off his trademark ability to do the unexpected with a tricky pass after 75 minutes. Unfortunately, R. Osmolak was startled by the play and wasn't able to control the finish. Devils enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

B. Nikonenko performed admirably for Devils. On the other hand, A. Žmahar's play was disheartening. ZwoleniankaMKS's top performer was clearly R. Osmolak. However, Z. Rewicki made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 1.
