The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 33982 had shown up at
$$_Aslantepe Park Club_$$ for the match.
Jacobus van Diemen was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Adam Anderson and
Maxsandro Alagoano.
$$_GS tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination.

Necabettin had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation.

With 4 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as
P. Cana flipped the ball in after a cross from the right.
A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of $$_GS to 2 - 0 as
J. Gauch finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle.
A free kick just outside of the visitors' penalty area after 27 minutes could have resulted in another goal, but
F. Güntimur got a hand out and tipped the ball over the bar.
With 30 minutes played, $$_GS put themselves up 3 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to
D. Magoński, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home.
After 35 minutes, $$_GS sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached
Z. Romano, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 4 - 0.
The players of $$_GS now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle.
4 - 0 was the score after the first half.
$$_GS had most of the ball, with 83 percent of possession.
$$_GS increased the lead as
M. Geambaşu struck to make the score 5 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper.
Things were deteriorating for the away team as $$_GS scored another to make it 6 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for
D. Magoński after 56 minutes.
$$_GS's
S. Jacquot swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball.
S. Jacquot left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 70 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead.
B. Bomer was the replacement.
P. Cana became the new $$_GS captain.
76 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as
Z. Romano broke through, making the score 7 - 0 for $$_GS.
M. Geambaşu acted with superior experience when, 77 minutes into the match, he predicted a pass, intercepted it and then finished off with a goal. 8 - 0 for $$_GS!
D. Magoński wanted to play on, but the $$_GS coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 81 minutes into the game by
D. Secuianu.
After 84 minutes,
B. Bomer put $$_GS ahead 9 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing.
$$_GS claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 86 percent.
Most important $$_GS player was
Z. Romano.
On the other hand,
J. Gamblin's play was disheartening.
M. Nurol performed admirably for Necabettin.
F. Güntimur was a disappointment, however.
The match ends 9 - 0.
