Yenimahalle were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. ST.LEON mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. Yenimahalle took the lead after 4 minutes as a result of K. Boerrigter's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. D. Grigorovas could have increased the lead after 18 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. Players in Yenimahalle heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. D. Benzi increased the lead for Yenimahalle to 2 - 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! After 31 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and G. Narcisi gave the Yenimahalle supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 3 - 0. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Yenimahalle lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 0. Yenimahalle enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 63 percent of possession.

The coach of Yenimahalle was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 55 minutes, P. Hillebrand came on for A. Semenikhin. K. Boerrigter unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. Yenimahalle's O. Khrenkov was shown a yellow card after 70 minutes for slicing down an opponent. ST.LEON's R. Pears went down after a savage challenge, but could continue playing after some medical attention. After 77 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Yenimahalle found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to passable. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Yenimahalle to 4 - 0 as D. Grigorovas finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. Yenimahalle put themselves up 5 - 0 when D. Grigorovas broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. 83 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as O. Khrenkov broke through, making the score 6 - 0 for Yenimahalle. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Yenimahalle, with 66 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Yenimahalle player was without a doubt J. Platas. O. Khrenkov on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important ST.LEON player was S. Kumar. However, R. Pears made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 6 - 0.
