The following players took the field: Koshinaka - Preobraženski, Skipanes, Brutkowski, Arellano, Dawson - Tosto, Murgia, Dendas, Amanatis - Rheinheimer.

Sofisterne had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation. They fielded: Friis - Bossi, Chira - Pérez Bujo, Jung, Deda, Ulstrup, Barslund - Anelli, Arminia, Mastokangas.

Sofisterne seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Many thought A. Tosto ought to have been awarded a penalty 15 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around G. Friis after a determined run through the middle. 22 minutes into the game, H. Arminia had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide. After some beautiful movement down the left wing, T. Amanatis scored for flæsker putting them ahead 1 - 0, after 24 minutes. The crowd was silenced 25 minutes into the match as the visiting team's H. Mastokangas came in from the left, levelling the score to 1 - 1. flæsker mounted an inspired counterattack down the right wing after 27 minutes, but A. Tosto was unable to convert from short range. K. Barslund had a good try after 31 minutes, coming in on a fine move from the left, but the ball went wide. flæsker took the lead 32 minutes into the game by 2 - 1, as A. Murgia elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. S. Obel was called on to replace flæsker's T. Koshinaka after 33 minutes following a nasty collision. It was 2 - 1 at the break. Sofisterne enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 51 percent of possession.

Sofisterne had a chance to level the score as V. Pérez Bujo suddenly found himself free in the middle of the box with only the keeper to beat, but he misjudged the finish, and only managed to hit the bar. Sofisterne tied it all up, 56 minutes in, after a spectacular goal by V. Pérez Bujo, who miraculously broke through the home side's central defence, making it 2 - 2. Sofisterne's H. Arminia was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 59 minutes. 67 minutes into the game, flæsker wanted to bring some new energy to their game. K. Rheinheimer gave R. Moreno a quick hug as he left the field. As the captain was no longer on the pitch, T. Amanatis took over the role of being the flæsker captain. After 67 minutes, the flæsker coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving T. Amanatis off the field. O. Bruun took his place. O. Bruun became the new flæsker captain. flæsker had a good opportunity to take the lead as L. Arellano came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of G. Friis. Sofisterne's goal to make the score 2 - 3 came via a questionable penalty, but M. Jung struck it home without a second thought. H. Arminia's speed was clear to see after 82 minutes, as he darted down the wing and released H. Mastokangas who placed the ball into the back of the net to make the score 2 - 4. Sofisterne players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. The visitors' G. Bossi took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 83 minutes into the match. 2 - 5 for Sofisterne. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Sofisterne, with 51 percent of the ball.

flæsker's best player was A. Tosto. S. Obel turned in a dismal performance, however. Sofisterne's top performer was clearly H. Mastokangas. G. Bossi was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 5.
