oceans_eleven were relying on their ability to counter-attack. c@ris decided to play creatively. The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of c@ris's İ. Ferahet after 8 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 0 - 1 lead. W. Niedzielski of c@ris seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 0 - 2 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by M. Diene. oceans_eleven's Y. Cansever was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 26 minutes. The home crowd was not impressed when A. Cazzato came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 37 minutes. c@ris were now up 0 - 3. The players of c@ris now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. A drive down the left side allowed A. Cazzato to get in close and score another goal for c@ris after 40 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 4. c@ris's W. Niedzielski got himself booked for a foul. After 44 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as oceans_eleven found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to solid. 44 minutes in, oceans_eleven appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only inadequate. The home crowd cheered when, after 44 minutes, D. Vásquez's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. 0 - 4 was the score after the first half. c@ris enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 80 percent of possession.

During the break, oceans_eleven's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to solid organisation. M. Diene of c@ris took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 59 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 5. Several players seemed a little dazed by the warm weather, and were repeatedly tricked by the clever and agile L. Španihel. With 76 minutes played, c@ris put themselves up 0 - 6 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was İ. Ferahet. Y. Cansever remonstrated furiously with the referee after oceans_eleven had another decision go against them. The referee had no alternative but to show him another yellow card and send him from the pitch. With 81 minutes played, D. Vásquez nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. The intense heat forced İ. Ferahet into making some errors because he couldn't seem to keep up with the others. c@ris increased the lead to 0 - 7 as M. Diene scored from the penalty spot, putting the ball in near the top left corner. Given a free kick close to the byline, c@ris tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let L. Španihel slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 0 - 8, 89 minutes into the game. c@ris claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 81 percent.

The most dominating oceans_eleven player was without a doubt P. Laugesen. On the other hand, H. Güneş's play was disheartening. c@ris's top performer was clearly S. Hakvoort. R. Gil on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 8.
