BOYS had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 10 minutes in when K. Therkelsen came up alone against U. Frederiksen who managed a block. The visiting K. Larsen Nielsen was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 30 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. B. Pyndt showed the skills that make him a real crowd pleaser as he, after 33 minutes, wove through the guests' entire central defence and put the 1 - 1 equaliser away. 36 minutes in, edgville's D. Thorninger received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. K. Larsen Nielsen was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so BOYS's L. Grøn Nielsen had to come off the bench. A. Lang received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 39 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. 41 minutes into the game, L. Grøn Nielsen had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide. BOYS's R. Jensen could have put the guests one up after 42 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but U. Frederiksen was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. 43 minutes into the match, BOYS's L. Grøn Nielsen demonstrated his famed speed as he raced past his marker and passed the ball to S. Ekstrøm who chipped it in for 1 - 2. With 44 minutes played, L. Grøn Nielsen nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. It was 1 - 2 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to BOYS, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

T. Brokholm of BOYS took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 55 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 1 - 3. The home side worked hard to get through the middle and as a result, had a good chance of getting one back as B. Pyndt tried lifting the ball over keeper F. Henckel. Unfortunately, the ball went just over the bar. edgville were awarded a penalty 66 minutes into the match and H. Leisted fired the ball into the net to make the score 2 - 3. 74 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 2 - 4 as L. Grøn Nielsen finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. With 80 minutes played, BOYS put themselves up 2 - 5 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was U. Villadsen. BOYS claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 55 percent.

The most dominating edgville player was without a doubt H. Schlüter. U. Frederiksen on the other hand, had a terrible day. BOYS's best player was K. Therkelsen. On the other hand, F. Henckel's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 5.
