The following players took the field: Molterer - Wimmer, Lelièvre, 淮天 (Huaitian) - Brunthaler, Schwardt, Orzełek, Kumlin, Audibert - Rasborg, Sass.

SVL started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. Lineup: Gstöttner - Gava, Bark, Pater - Majcherek, Brun, Andersson, Jakimovski - Bendazzoli, Nużyński, Kapusta.

Many thought T. Sass ought to have been awarded a penalty 8 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around K. Gstöttner after a determined run through the middle. S. Orzełek slipped and slithered in the wet grass. His usual rapid runs were nowhere to be seen today. Mattersburg created a good opportunity to score 23 minutes into the match when J. Rasborg's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. Mattersburg were very close to putting themselves one up after 26 minutes as J. Rasborg got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. With 30 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as H. Kumlin flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. The referee showed SVL's L. Andersson the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Halftime score was 1 - 0. Mattersburg claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 69 percent.

After 56 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by S. Lelièvre might have resulted in another goal for Mattersburg. However, K. Gstöttner made a spectacular save. A cross coming in on the right hand side left A. Nużyński alone in front of the goal after 81 minutes but his shot was woeful. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Mattersburg scored another to make it 2 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for E. Audibert after 85 minutes. SVL's K. Gstöttner refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 87 minutes. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Mattersburg, with 65 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Mattersburg player was without a doubt J. Rasborg. M. Brunthaler turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important SVL player was G. Bendazzoli. However, K. Gstöttner made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 0.
