Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 4 minutes into the match left Klaphat's A. Granli completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. In a well-rehearsed move, A.C.P.P. delivered a free kick into the box which A. Hansson, soaring majestically above the defence, rose to head home to make the score 1 - 1. M. Văn Dũng looked great 27 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' Q. Lê Hà. With clinical precision, the cross from winger A. Granli found its way to R. Yde's head, and a screaming header gave Klaphat the goal after 28 minutes played. 1 - 2 After 31 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave B. Mümin a chance to increase the lead for Klaphat, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 1 - 3. 1 - 3 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Klaphat, with 56 percent of the ball.

P. Bernstein of A.C.P.P. was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. After 61 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for V. Diribaş who increased Klaphat's lead to 1 - 4. The players of Klaphat now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. The visitors added to their lead 71 minutes into the game, after a sensational penalty kick by Klaphat's V. Diribaş slid just past the home keeper. 1 - 5. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, V. Diribaş would have put Klaphat up another goal 76 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. Some fine movement on the left led to a Klaphat goal after 80 minutes, making it 1 - 6. J. Salling was noted down as the scorer. Klaphat claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 55 percent.

A.C.P.P.'s best player was P. Bernstein. J. Topholm on the other hand, had a terrible day. A. Granli performed admirably for Klaphat. A. Morup-Petersen turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 6.
