42858 spectators had come to Evil Smokepark this cloudy day. Fadri Athanas was the appointed referee with assistance provided by José Antonio Tavares de Sousa and Alexandre Delepierre. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Dannebrog. They fielded: Kjær - Ðapić, Vernidub, Mamprin - Aakerman, Damsted Petersen, Skals Jensen, Nørgaard, Ølholm - Kallas, Pupin.

Fremad had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Ovando - Wieländer, Morar, Bonnesen - Szuhár, Uhagón Ceballos, Bilík, Schenkel, Warholm - Broendsted, van Haarlem.

Fremad were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Dannebrog's M. Damsted Petersen tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. J. Broendsted was in the clear after breaking the offside trap following a Fremad counterattack from the left after 5 minutes. His neat finish made the score 0 - 1. The crowd roared in delight as S. Kallas finished off a spectacular series of passes through the middle to even the score for Dannebrog 10 minutes into the match. 1 - 1. Dannebrog had a good opportunity to take the lead as V. Vernidub came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of I. Ovando. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 1. Dannebrog enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

The coach of Dannebrog wanted to try to change things around after 46 minutes, and gave new tactical instructions. Coming in from the right, Dannebrog had a good opportunity to convert on a counterattack after 56 minutes, but V. Ðapić's attempt to finish was easily stopped. It was obvious that Fremad had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. Dannebrog fans held their breath as S. Kallas scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 2 - 1! With 70 minutes played, the Fremad coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. B. Fausing came on, R. Uhagón Ceballos had to leave the fray. The referee showed Fremad's J. van Haarlem the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Dannebrog to 3 - 1 as M. Mamprin finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. Possession in this half belonged to Dannebrog, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

S. Kallas performed admirably for Dannebrog. However, B. Pupin made a disastrous appearance. Fremad's top performer was clearly J. Broendsted. A. Warholm on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 1.
