A brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 33506 to Estadio Pleintje United. Diego Junquera was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Peter Monrad and Lasse Köppä. Pleintje tactics involved an interesting 4-3-3 combination. The following players took the field: Santibañez - Van der Elst, Marchant, Kadosh, Gorremans - Kumpmann, Aristizábal, Stuchlý - Bomberna, Rizzo, Herman.

A 5-3-2 alignment was the formation of choice for cocktails. Starters: Kuklik - Dourakos, Hiekkala, Técher, Vanlerberghe, Rosa - Fredriksson, Rajchel, de Atter - Leuku, Fesefeldt.

cocktails clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. J. Aristizábal caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 4 minutes. This gave Pleintje the 1 - 0 lead. Cheers filled the stadium as T. Stuchlý broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 2 - 0 to Pleintje. With 32 minutes played, J. Aristizábal could have brought this one home for Pleintje as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. 40 minutes into the game, A. Gorremans had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came O. Dohrau. The Pleintje captaincy was handed to F. Marchant. Pleintje solidified their lead at the 43 minute mark, as E. Rizzo dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 3 - 0. Confident in their lead, Pleintje's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. S. Kadosh increased the lead for Pleintje to 4 - 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! The teams went for the halftime break at 4 - 0. Pleintje had most of the ball, with 62 percent of possession.

65 minutes into the match W. Kumpmann put Pleintje ahead 5 - 0 with a truly marvelous free kick. As usual, O. Dohrau tried to use his strength and hard work for the benefit of the team, but the heat hit him hard and he couldn't keep pace at all. It was a hot and sunny day, and several players seemed worn out. Maybe this was why T. Stuchlý found an unusual amount of space for his snappy footwork. Pleintje claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

The most dominating Pleintje player was without a doubt T. Stuchlý. J. Van der Elst on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important cocktails player was S. Leuku. On the other hand, R. Vanlerberghe's play was disheartening. The match ends 5 - 0.
