Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and United Stadium saw a crowd turnout of 11770. Alin Marinoiu was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Elias Rossinen and Håkan Gustavsson. United started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. Lineup: Latt - Ureba, Nilsson, Bogdański, Salat - Scognamiglio, Hasenbergl, Kusala, Mahieu - Laidla, Einarsson.

Nielbo tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Domínguez - Novais, Lajkó, Cancelarich - Frigyes, Motlohi, Aguirre, Galinkevičius, Jaich - Stenen, Polverini.

Nielbo used their skill at pressing to cut off the attack angles of their opponents all over the field. After a fine move down the middle P. Einarsson nearly gave the home side a goal after 20 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. H. Latt looked great 35 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' G. Galinkevičius. 39 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for United was P. Einarsson. Halftime score was 1 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to United, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

With 50 minutes played, S. Stenen of Nielbo fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. The pressing tactics used by Nielbo were successful as the ball remained close to the half way line at all times. United almost scored after a swift counterattack 70 minutes into the game, but E. Scognamiglio put the shot from the left flank just outside the goal. The home side's D. Salat came close to extending the lead 73 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but J. Domínguez managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. D. Salat of United seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 2 - 0 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by P. Einarsson. 75 minutes into the match United's A. Laidla viciously shoved another player from behind while going for a loose ball and was sent off the pitch with a red card. The bench was restless, and with 80 minutes passed Nielbo's coach gave A. Caterisi the opportunity the player had been hoping for. M. Polverini reluctantly left the field. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by United, with 56 percent of the ball.

P. Einarsson performed admirably for United. Z. Kusala was a disappointment, however. Nielbo's best player was S. Stenen. However, J. Aguirre made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 0.
