Krisztián Taszári was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Walter Giorgio Bellissimo and Manuel Roelas. Chelsea decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. Lineup: Otaño - Restaino, Priebe, Žoviak, Andrisani - Ellingsen, Faccenda, Bergmark, Margiotta, Guthardt - Armberger.

Bondevennerne tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Starters: Bon - Haubjerg Scharling, Uhrenholt, Kvistgaard - Bach, Børgh, Lindrup, Præst, Hegedüs - Isaacs, Lindgaard.

Today, Chelsea's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. Bondevennerne's R. Haubjerg Scharling left the field after 5 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was I. Petric. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 26 minutes allowed J. Lindgaard to score for Bondevennerne. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. Chelsea's T. Priebe was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 29 minutes. Halftime score was 0 - 1. Chelsea enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 61 percent of possession.

Chelsea needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 65 minutes O. Bergmark made way for T. Flejsborg. The Chelsea players listened closely to their manager, as he gave new tactical instructions for the team. Chelsea's T. Flejsborg put his head to a high ball coming in from the right after 80 minutes, but the ball went wide. G. Præst of Bondevennerne received a yellow card after 84 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Chelsea claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 55 percent.

The most dominating Chelsea player was without a doubt M. Margiotta. N. Otaño turned in a dismal performance, however. N. Bon performed admirably for Bondevennerne. I. Petric was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 1.
