The crowd of 42392 turning up at Den Røde Hule today were greeted with some nasty showers of rain. Ilkka Eskola was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Ramón Sanabria and Theo Stephenson. People from all over København had joined up for the derby. Dragerne had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. Lineup: Venier - Scardina, Kaspi, 宏昉 (Hongfang) - Júnior, Naglić, Russell, Pirovolidis - Albert, Wouters, Emmeloord.

Tub2 tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players took the field: Tupper - Mântua, Vellutini, Oppenrieder - Filizi, Windler, Bodin, Andersen, Einbecker - Palmieri, Estol.

Tub2 saw most attack opportunities on the wings. After 16 minutes, L. Pirovolidis came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving Dragerne the lead. Dragerne solidified their lead at the 25 minute mark, as J. Albert dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 2 - 0. 27 minutes in, P. Einbecker made an incredible run up the middle and nearly reduced the home side's lead, but S. Venier refused to let the ball slip by him. Dragerne put themselves up 3 - 0 when B. Wouters broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. Tub2's S. Filizi was shown a yellow card after 32 minutes for slicing down an opponent. It was 3 - 0 at the break. Tub2 had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

47 minutes into the game, Tub2's attack got through on the right, but J. Bodin couldn't handle the ball and his feeble kick wound up in the keeper's arms. After 69 minutes, C. Emmeloord put Dragerne ahead 4 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 73 minutes, Dragerne did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, C. Emmeloord was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 5 - 0. The players of Dragerne now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. Dragerne increased the lead as M. Kaspi struck to make the score 6 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Dragerne had to make a substitution after 82 minutes. B. Wouters limped off the field and was replaced by D. Nodale. After 86 minutes, W. Oppenrieder came close to reducing the score with a free kick aimed near the left post, but S. Venier warded the ball off to a corner. Possession in this half belonged to Tub2, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

Most important Dragerne player was C. Emmeloord. B. Naglić on the other hand, had a terrible day. Tub2's top performer was clearly I. Estol. On the other hand, J. Tupper's play was disheartening. The match ends 6 - 0.
