It had rained all day, but 7842 hardy fans still made it out to Blå kors arena. Sason Adin was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Airth MacSween and Kjell Öhrwald. Ikast-onsdag tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. The following players had been chosen: Plauborg - Reiter, Berendtsen - Hendriksen, Piller, Bjerre, Ravnsbæk, Hansson - Paaske, Külek, Eilersen.

Dianlund started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Tielemann - Lund Pedersen, Bedsted, Hegazy, Lykke Frandsen - Halse, Palludan, Heding, Baunsbøl - Lübek, Bjørn.

Ikast-onsdag seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. The game was characterised by rough play and many physical challenges on the wet field, but T. Halse showed great heart and had a good game. Ikast-onsdag took the lead 24 minutes in, as N. Bjerre broke through on the left and put the 1 - 0 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. After 27 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and S. Hendriksen gave the Ikast-onsdag supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0. Dianlund were desperate to get a goal back and pushed forward through the middle 30 minutes into the game. After a scramble in the box, the ball dropped to F. Baunsbøl, who smashed it home to make the score 2 - 1. Ikast-onsdag put themselves up 3 - 1 when T. Reiter broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. 38 minutes into the game, T. Paaske had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came Å. Richardy. F. Piller became the new Ikast-onsdag captain. It was 3 - 1 at the break. Ikast-onsdag had most of the ball, with 70 percent of possession.

After 63 minutes, Ikast-onsdag's T. Reiter found the back of the goal with a beautiful free kick. 4 - 1. After this, you could see that the players of Ikast-onsdag were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. The Ikast-onsdag players could smell victory in the air. S. Hendriksen wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for H. Norling after 74 minutes. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Ikast-onsdag's M. Berendtsen increasing the lead to 5 - 1. A well-executed free kick by T. Reiter after 75 minutes made it 6 - 1 for Ikast-onsdag. At that, T. Reiter was noted down for a hat trick! H. Lade was called on to replace Ikast-onsdag's N. Bjerre after 78 minutes following a nasty collision. 80 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as F. Piller broke through, making the score 7 - 1 for Ikast-onsdag. Ikast-onsdag solidified their lead at the 86 minute mark, as F. Piller dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 8 - 1. M. Berendtsen was uncomfortable with the soggy pitch as he couldn't move the ball around with his usual grace. Ikast-onsdag enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 70 percent of possession.

T. Külek performed admirably for Ikast-onsdag. On the other hand, Å. Richardy's play was disheartening. Most important Dianlund player was T. Halse. A. Tielemann was a disappointment, however. The match ends 8 - 1.
