With 24 minutes played, Queens put themselves up 0 - 2 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was P. Vieira Pereira. T. Vinkler charged down the left and looked sure to score for Wikings 25 minutes into the game, but his shot went just wide. Queens's defence sent a ball soaring up the middle on a beautiful counterattack with 26 minutes gone, but M. Litwin's finish was met by the reaching hands of the keeper. M. Hinger left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 30 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. A. Stjerning was the replacement. After a short break after 30 minutes, Queens seemed to change their tactical approach a bit. In an effort to secure the lead, Queens changed their tactic after 30 minutes. It was 0 - 2 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Queens, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

The coach of Queens was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, P. Hodos came on for L. Casaburi. Wikings's J. Conrad found himself alone on the left side 53 minutes into the match and laid down a perfect shot - right into the arms of the keeper! The bench was restless, and with 55 minutes passed Wikings's coach gave J. Havsteen-Mikkelsen the opportunity the player had been hoping for. N. Neergard reluctantly left the field. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Wikings's O. Henriksen was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 60 minutes. S. Palmland was given a chance to change things around. The home crowd was given a certain amount of consolation when J. Havsteen-Mikkelsen scored after a brilliant midfield combination through the centre, reducing the lead to 1 - 2. After 68 minutes of play, U. Petersen equalised for Wikings after an elegant attack from the right. Wikings's J. Papierz was shown a yellow card after 71 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Wikings claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

Most important Wikings player was J. Papierz. On the other hand, S. Palmland's play was disheartening. The most dominating Queens player was without a doubt A. Maillet. However, A. Stjerning made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 2.
