Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 12000 at Manrussia Fred today. Carlos Sánchez Lozano was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Zygmunt Szkop and Emilio Ortiz. Manrussia had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. The following players took the field: Ekbeck - Cambeiro, Cuvelier, Gotfredsen, Göransson, Uttermar - Ogłaza, Stjernen, Rauschenbach, Ohlwald - Janasek.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Sätila. Lineup: Rodander - Mellbom, Gregório, Ortzen, Fyhrgren - Engner, Stjerning, Vúzvúzov, Heuker - Kindbrant, Grigore.

For their match strategy, Manrussia had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. It was an obvious ambition of Sätila to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. Sätila's N. Vúzvúzov could have put the guests one up after 4 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but C. Ekbeck was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. A. Torsson was called on to replace Sätila's J. Engner after 30 minutes following a nasty collision. It was obvious that Sätila had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. The terraces were silenced after 38 minutes when Sätila's N. Vúzvúzov put the guests ahead 0 - 1, following an attack on the right. A. Kindbrant increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 2. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Sätila, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. C. Ekbeck got a fingertip on N. Vúzvúzov's shot from the left 42 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. 0 - 2 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Sätila, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

Sätila came close to extending their lead as M. Stjerning delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 53 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. The referee showed Manrussia's S. Stjernen the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. M. Stjerning of Sätila had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. O. Silverholt came in to finish the match. After 63 minutes, Sätila sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached N. Mellbom, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 0 - 3. After 64 minutes Manrussia's C. Ekbeck contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. Sätila enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 51 percent of possession.

The most dominating Manrussia player was without a doubt D. Janasek. C. Ekbeck on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Sätila player was Ş. Grigore. B. Gregório was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 3.
