Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 32052 at fæstningen today. Domingo Zavala Valdés was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Per Bergvik and Aleksi Peltola. Dimkus had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: Vilata - Skjønberg, Salinas Mila, Nadeau - Dalsgård, Medeot, Oskarsson, Udassi, Tripa - Andriesse, Próchnicki.

A 2-5-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Zem. Starters: Naşit - Kolling, Veng - Aabye-Hansen, Hillerup, Tolstrup, Petri, Kodrup - Langagergaard, Hein, Kristensen.

Dimkus were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Zem seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. After 4 minutes, Zem put themselves up 0 - 1, as N. Langagergaard finished off a strike from the left with a real cannonball of a shot. After 32 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave C. Veng a chance to increase the lead for Zem, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 2. The home crowd were delighted when A. Udassi scored with a header after an attack from the right, making the score 1 - 2. But did he use his hand? That'll be one for the pundits to talk about after the game, that's for sure! 35 minutes into the match, N. Tolstrup came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. 1 - 2 was the score after the first half. Neither team was controlling the possession at this point in the match, with the stats showing a 50:50 split.

After 57 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for S. Petri who increased Zem's lead to 1 - 3. It took several tries, but Dimkus managed to break through on the left after 58 minutes, getting the ball to P. Oskarsson who easily reduced the lead to make the score 2 - 3. N. Langagergaard received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 62 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 2 - 4. The Zem fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. Dimkus didn't give in and with 68 minutes played R. Andriesse was able to make the score 3 - 4 after an attack on the right. 77 minutes into the match, Dimkus's P. Oskarsson maneuvered his way around the opposition on the left flank, delighting the crowd with his twists and turns. The effort paid off as the ball found the back of the net, evening the score at 4 - 4. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 79 minutes into the match, and B. Kristensen wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 4 - 5 for the visitors. N. Naşit wanted to play on, but the Zem coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 89 minutes into the game by A. Graso. The Zem captaincy was handed to A. Graso. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Dimkus, with 54 percent of the ball.

Dimkus's top performer was clearly A. Udassi. On the other hand, R. Vilata's play was disheartening. Most important Zem player was N. Langagergaard. T. Aabye-Hansen on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 4 - 5.
