Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 37571 to The Blood Bowl. Arturo Esteban was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Paweł Zielewski and Niceto Lecaros. Celt had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation. The following players took the field: Holm Larsen - Laudrup, Paaske Sørensen - Sayrı, Salomonsen, Thomsen, Mathiasen, Ngotho - Folden, Ravnkilde, Daugbjerg.

Hansens tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. Lineup: Ivanov - Rocca, Syvälä, Bon Nielsen, Askola - Dilgüzar, Dyg, Berg Briese, Lindø Westergaard - Plauborg, Dausse.

The referee signaled a penalty for the home side after 20 minutes, amid vocal protests from the visitors. Celt fans erupted in celebration as A. Ngotho rifled the ball into the the top corner. 1 - 0! K. Daugbjerg could have increased the lead after 35 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. 1 - 0 was the score after the first half. Celt enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 63 percent of possession.

Ş. Sayrı left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 46 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. P. Boderskov was the replacement. O. Folden increased the lead for Celt to 2 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! P. Boderskov of Celt received a yellow card after 55 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. There was concern in the stands when, at the 69 minute mark, Celt's J. Holm Larsen hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. R. Ravnkilde of Celt was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Celt claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 62 percent.

J. Holm Larsen performed admirably for Celt. On the other hand, A. Laudrup's play was disheartening. Most important Hansens player was M. Rocca. C. Bon Nielsen turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 0.
