46030 fans braved the pouring rain at Seksløberen Arena. Tommy Laureau was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Adam Frege and Leif Thyling. A 4-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for Seksløberen. Lineup: Garde - Escobar, Marvits, Bumba, Kamp - Vendelbo, Tollerud, Kongshøj, Davidsen, Hemmingsen - Sanquer.

Junited tactics involved an interesting 5-4-1 combination. They fielded: Tadulala - Padberg, Skandrani, Tzokol, van Grunsven, Matz - Kovachev, Hentze, van der Kuijlen, Donvito - El-Shareef.

It was an obvious ambition of Seksløberen to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. Junited were relying on their ability to counter-attack. After 7 minutes, the defensive line of Junited created a counterattack through the middle that gave V. van der Kuijlen a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Seksløberen, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. Seksløberen were very close to putting themselves one up after 11 minutes as F. Sanquer got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. Players in Seksløberen heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. The home side put themselves ahead 1 - 0 after 37 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from U. Vendelbo, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. 1 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Seksløberen, with 70 percent of the ball.

Unhappy with the result so far in the game, the Junited manager used a brief break in play after 60 minutes to give the players new directives. With 60 minutes played, U. Vendelbo could have brought this one home for Seksløberen as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. With 61 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of Junited resulted in a counterattack that set D. Skandrani free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. After 62 minutes, F. Sanquer sent the corner kick right to H. Davidsen who headed it sharply past the keeper. 2 - 0! The coach of Seksløberen was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 62 minutes, P. Mignanelli came on for H. Davidsen. It was a bad day for the usually speedy A. Kovachev. The mud seemed to slow him down. Seksløberen's F. Sanquer swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. A great save by keeper S. Tadulala after 80 minutes kept the visitors in the game after B. Kamp struck from the left with a real cannonball. Good work by the Junited defensive line after 81 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found T. Donvito alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. The Seksløberen players could smell victory in the air. P. Kongshøj wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for K. Svenninggaard after 89 minutes. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Seksløberen coach let F. Febres replace F. Sanquer after 89 minutes. Seksløberen claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 66 percent.

Seksløberen's top performer was clearly N. Tollerud. On the other hand, F. Febres's play was disheartening. The most dominating Junited player was without a doubt H. El-Shareef. Z. Tzokol was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 0.
