28413 punters turned up at Nonunç huba arena, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Arnaud Aufrère was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Quentin Micheau and Heinz-Ulrich Bernheiden. Miskin started off with a 2-5-3 lineup. Lineup: Aktaş - Özak, Dirican - Altona, Dam Jensen, Ésper, Mets, Serrizuela - Mürüvvet, Antola, Perri.

GNN had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Dauchot - Bidzāns, Kim, Duprat - Jirka, Mülhim, Jansson, Elías, Housen - Sanay, Villarreal.

Miskin used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. With 17 minutes played, N. Serrizuela of Miskin fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Miskin players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. S. Mürüvvet caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 18 minutes. This gave Miskin the 1 - 0 lead. GNN levelled the score after 26 minutes to make it 1 - 1, as A. Mülhim struck home after a fine midfield combination through the centre, which left him completely unmarked. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Miskin, with 54 percent of the ball.

Miskin fans held their breath as S. Mürüvvet scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 2 - 1! It was obvious that team Miskin had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. 51 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as N. Serrizuela broke through, making the score 3 - 1 for Miskin. The home team's fans were upset when, after 60 minutes, the visiting M. Jirka broke through the central defence and kicked the ball past the keeper. 3 - 2 was the score. The referee was not popular with the home supporters after he awarded GNN a controversial penalty after 61 minutes. A. Sanay made no mistake, levelling the score at 3 - 3. The home side put themselves ahead 4 - 3 after 69 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from Y. Dirican, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. GNN's J. Bidzāns left the field after 69 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was V. Lualdi. Miskin enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

The most dominating Miskin player was without a doubt J. Antola. Y. Dirican was a disappointment, however. GNN's top performer was clearly T. Jansson. However, T. Housen made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 3.
