fenerbahçe saw most attack opportunities on the wings. 2011 used their skill at pressing to cut off the attack angles of their opponents all over the field. Slack defending gave fenerbahçe a chance to take the lead with 5 minutes played, but S. Seçmen's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 8 minutes, fenerbahçe did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, S. Moon was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 1 - 0. fenerbahçe had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. After 14 minutes, S. Seçmen put fenerbahçe ahead 2 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. fenerbahçe's H. Christoffersen had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 19 minutes having been played. K. Elstad was the replacement. fenerbahçe solidified their lead at the 21 minute mark, as P. Olivera dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 3 - 0. After this, you could see that the players of fenerbahçe were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. fenerbahçe nearly produced a goal as D. Oberrauner set up T. Mennan for a strike from a seemingly impossible angle. However he put the shot narrowly wide. 2011's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. With 41 minutes played, the 2011 coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. M. Gürbüz came on, F. Malara had to leave the fray. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to fenerbahçe, who controlled the ball 74 percent of the time.

2011 needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 53 minutes N. Ryneveen made way for R. Manzano. fenerbahçe managed to extend their lead to 4 - 0 when P. Olivera cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. fenerbahçe's B. Guiné increased the lead to 5 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 58 minutes. Things were deteriorating for the away team as fenerbahçe scored another to make it 6 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for S. Seçmen after 63 minutes. After 65 minutes, fenerbahçe were awarded a free kick. Rather than shooting straight at goal, the taker went for an indirect variant which seemed to take his team mates a bit by surprise. P. Olivera did attempt a finish, but from an awkward position, sending the ball into the away fans. The referee showed 2011's P. Guaro the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. In a fantastic display of determination, fenerbahçe's S. Moon forced himself to his feet, after an opponent viciously knocked him down. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, 2011's F. Eckener was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 71 minutes. F. Sağun was given a chance to change things around. With 76 minutes played, fenerbahçe put themselves up 7 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to B. Guiné, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. fenerbahçe claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 71 percent.

fenerbahçe's best player was P. Olivera. On the other hand, D. Oberrauner's play was disheartening. Most important 2011 player was G. Marinacci. P. Guaro turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 7 - 0.
