The 50000 spectators at tabernes paradis were in for an afternoon of sunshine. Marcus Schmöller was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jérémie Ferrandon and Rico Züger. nørgaard decided to use a 5-2-3 set up. The following players took the field: Marasca - Díaz, Laboreiro, Tonda, Krupčiak, Warming - Kočí, Oram - Majeux, Degryse, Mauri.

Østerbro started off with a 4-5-1 lineup. They fielded: Mor-Yossef - ó Dufaigh, El-Usman, Rose, Valero Giménez - Edelmann, Hammer, Kjærulff, Krarup, Dyrholm - Nyhave Nielsen.

nørgaard were relying on their ability to counter-attack. It was an obvious ambition of Østerbro to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. Østerbro were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. The terraces were silenced after 4 minutes when Østerbro's F. Krarup put the guests ahead 0 - 1, following an attack on the right. A drive down the left side allowed Q. El-Usman to get in close and score another goal for Østerbro after 13 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 2. The goal to make it 1 - 2 was scored by P. Mauri after 23 minutes, following an opportunistic counterattack down the middle by nørgaard. After 25 minutes of game time, K. Hammer had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but N. Marasca was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. 1 - 2 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Østerbro, with 84 percent of the ball.

The corner kick from S. Degryse was powerfully met by the head of S. Oram to make the score 2 - 2. Østerbro's H. Nyhave Nielsen gave the visitors a 2 - 3 lead after 66 minutes with a superb strike from the right. Østerbro's F. Edelmann was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 72 minutes. nørgaard's counterattacks created a good chance for R. Laboreiro on the right after 74 minutes, but he could only look on with dismay as his strike rebounded off the crossbar. Østerbro claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 84 percent.

S. Degryse performed admirably for nørgaard. On the other hand, V. Krupčiak's play was disheartening. The most dominating Østerbro player was without a doubt K. Hammer. F. Edelmann turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 3.
