Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Arena Frankivsk saw a crowd turnout of 13845. David Merlo was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Eugène Mounier and Heimrich Hampeis. URAHAN1 decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. Starters: Ueckermann - Zhuk, Peresada, Chukhnenkov, Maliy - Forrest, Aantjes, Metelskiy, Neveu - Zerbo, Arsin.

KoMBo tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Kleber - Varankov, Meşale, Kuloğlu - Shedko, Skoropad, Tesar, Nosferatyuk, Khokhlov - Khomutov, Frankov.

Pressing was the tactic of the day for URAHAN1. KoMBo clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. With 2 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as O. Metelskiy flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. G. Frankov of KoMBo received a yellow card after 19 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. M. Tesar fired a shot from distance after 24 minutes, but the long shot couldn't find the net for KoMBo. D. Forrest increased the lead for URAHAN1 to 2 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! URAHAN1's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. 2 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession of the ball saw an equal split between the teams during the forty-five minutes.

KoMBo needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 46 minutes O. Nosferatyuk made way for I. Sagaydak. KoMBo had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. The crowd roared its approval when E. Ueckermann somehow managed to block a shot which seemed to be a certain goal by KoMBo's R. Khokhlov 48 minutes into the game. KoMBo's I. Sagaydak left the field after 57 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was G. Kozak. With 62 minutes played, M. Maliy could have brought this one home for URAHAN1 as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. O. Metelskiy wanted to play on, but the URAHAN1 coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 71 minutes into the game by C. Sardinha. E. Ueckermann was the new captain of URAHAN1 - handed the armband by the departing player. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, V. Shedko got himself booked. The manager of KoMBo was not happy. KoMBo were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. The coach of URAHAN1 was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 80 minutes, S. Ryzhykh came on for D. Forrest. KoMBo had a fair chance to reply after 80 minutes due to some fine moves down the left, but in the end G. Frankov was slow to keep up with the play and was unable to make it into the penalty box to apply a finish. URAHAN1 managed to extend their lead to 3 - 0 when C. Arsin cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. By now, the players in URAHAN1 felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. URAHAN1 claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 56 percent.

Most important URAHAN1 player was J. Neveu. However, I. Chukhnenkov made a disastrous appearance. K. Khomutov performed admirably for KoMBo. R. Khokhlov on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 0.
