61509 punters turned up at Lejre Arena, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Christian Adeling was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Scottie Ridley and Jean-Jacques Madec. Lejre tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. They fielded: Suszczewicz - Krstajić, Huţan - Aslanzadə, Duarte, Wegener, Ansamaa, Olšan - Gavrilov, Corvaglia, Laučys.

Luxus started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: López Jiménez - Machado, Matsukata, Tamelli - van Diepen, Tsirigkakis, Popescu, Silfwerstrand, Mang - Crişan, Vlastník.

D. Tsirigkakis caught everyone by surprise with a unexpected volley after 12 minutes. F. van Diepen was perfectly placed to take advantage of the play, but unfortunately, he was as surprised as anyone and couldn't finish for Luxus. 0 - 1 was the score with 14 minutes played, after B. Vlastník cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Luxus. 15 minutes into the game, D. Matsukata had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came Z. Cierpiał. A lovely run by Luxus's S. Mang left his markers for dead and should have resulted in a goal, but the finish went just wide. Lejre tried to even things up by sending a long ball towards the centrally placed strikers, but the visitors' defence got the best of this rather direct style of play. With 39 minutes having been played, Lejre scored to make it 1 - 1. A dribble down the left wing, followed by a shot which took a wicked bounce off a defender resulted in the keeper having no chance. Everyone thought it'd been an own goal, but P. Corvaglia was marked down as the scorer. Halftime score was 1 - 1. Lejre had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

After 54 minutes of play, G. Gavrilov gave the home team a 2 - 1 lead after an attack coming in from the right. S. Mang tied the game at 2 - 2 after 67 minutes, when he converted an incredible pass from the right. B. Krstajić would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. J. Lleras entered the game for Lejre as the match clock showed 71 minutes. Lejre broke through on the left 81 minutes into the game, with J. Ansamaa firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 3 - 2 lead. A. Suszczewicz looked to be heading one way when he unexpectedly passed the ball to G. Gavrilov. The move caught everyone off-guard, including his teammate, who panicked and kicked the ball out of play by accident. Lejre managed to extend their lead to 4 - 2 when J. Ansamaa cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. Lejre enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 58 percent of possession.

Most important Lejre player was G. Gavrilov. However, J. Lleras made a disastrous appearance. B. Vlastník performed admirably for Luxus. On the other hand, Z. Cierpiał's play was disheartening. The match ends 4 - 2.
