ShokooFehaye mostly relied on their long range shooting ability. Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for FC.JOKANDAN. ShokooFehaye took the lead 32 minutes in, as I. Zampetas broke through on the left and put the 1 - 0 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. I. Zampetas had a hard time on the waterlogged pitch - his trademark technique was nowhere in sight today. With 41 minutes played, ShokooFehaye put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to R. Jahani, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. After 43 minutes, C. Barillari put ShokooFehaye ahead 3 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. By now, the players in ShokooFehaye felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. 44 minutes in, ShokooFehaye's D. Aarnoudse received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. 3 - 0 was the score after the first half. ShokooFehaye claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

C. Paolini showed why he is feared on the counterattack, breaking through in the middle and scoring for ShokooFehaye after 54 minutes to make the score 4 - 0. ShokooFehaye's counterattacks were lethal to the opposing defence, allowing D. Aarnoudse to score easily from the right flank for 5 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by ShokooFehaye, with 56 percent of the ball.

ShokooFehaye's top performer was clearly C. Paolini. On the other hand, B. Kusak's play was disheartening. FC.JOKANDAN's best player was M. Eskandarzadeh. A. Ajdar was a disappointment, however. The match ends 5 - 0.
