The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 33919 had shown up at
Bangkoch city Arena for the match.
John Elmose was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Francisco Ordoñez and
Ubaldo Matas.
Bangkoch decided to use a 3-5-2 set up.

3920 started off with a 3-5-2 lineup.
Lineup: 吉田 (Yoshida) - Oliván, Eriksen, Seding - Maier-Hilfen, Esteves, Nagel, Veronesi, Kamp - Bataillard, Carvalhaes.
3920 were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks.
3 minutes into the game,
S. Kamp had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide.
Making his way up the middle 22 minutes into the match,
U. Overskov almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert
直. 吉田 (Yoshida) blocked it to keep the score level.
It was obvious that 3920 had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle.
Coming in from the right, 3920 had a good opportunity to convert on a counterattack after 23 minutes, but
T. Seding's attempt to finish was easily stopped.
With 24 minutes played, 3920's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to
E. Esteves he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 0 - 1.
Bangkoch's
G. Grisonas got himself booked for a foul.
3920's
A. Eriksen went down after a savage challenge, but could continue playing after some medical attention.
After 32 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed
T. Nagel to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 2.
After 35 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave
P. Bataillard a chance to increase the lead for 3920, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 3.
The situation leading to Bangkoch's penalty 36 minutes into the match will be much debated after the game ends, but the competent
R. Knudsen didn't hesitate to make the score 1 - 3.
A scuffle developed as players from both sides clashed following a tussle in the centre of the field 43 minutes into the match. After regaining order and consulting his linesman, the referee called 3920's
V. Oliván to one side and produced a red card for the player.
3920's
直. 吉田 (Yoshida) had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 43 minutes having been played.
R. Kabogo was the replacement.
It was 1 - 3 at the break.
3920 had most of the ball, with 61 percent of possession.
3920 came close to extending their lead as
E. Carvalhaes delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 48 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting.
54 minutes into the game,
R. Knudsen had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came
J. Fauche.
3920's
P. Bataillard was shown a yellow card after 56 minutes for slicing down an opponent.
The visitors added to their lead 79 minutes into the game, after a sensational penalty kick by 3920's
E. Carvalhaes slid just past the home keeper. 1 - 4.
After 80 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for
S. Kamp who increased 3920's lead to 1 - 5.
3920 enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 63 percent of possession.
The most dominating Bangkoch player was without a doubt
N. Brasselet.
However,
U. Overskov made a disastrous appearance.
V. Veronesi performed admirably for 3920.
On the other hand,
R. Kabogo's play was disheartening.
The match ends 1 - 5.
