hornets started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Koopman - Schübel, Irelli, Karayılan - Bin-Hamdan, Prager, Russolillo, Zein, Virkkilä - Taricco, Di Pinto.

It was an obvious ambition of Lightnings to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. Players in Lightnings heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. After 8 minutes of play, C. Quaid gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. J. Pettersen squirmed through their central defence after 17 minutes, increasing the lead to 2 - 0. S. Jumnian increased the lead for Lightnings to 3 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! Lightnings were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. Lightnings managed to extend their lead to 4 - 0 when G. Cantoni cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. Confident in their lead, Lightnings's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. 4 - 0 was the score after the first half. Lightnings had most of the ball, with 62 percent of possession.

C. Quaid wanted to play on, but the Lightnings coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 60 minutes into the game by N. Jangaziev. Coming from the right, B. Fleetwood almost managed to score another goal for Lightnings, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. D. Koopman was caught napping as B. Fleetwood lifted a ball over him following a free kick, but the ball hit the bar, rebounding into the keeper's arms. With 69 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock, hornets showed some good skill and were able to reduce the score to 4 - 1 when F. Prager got past the home side's central defenders right in front of the goal. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Lightnings, with 62 percent of the ball.

G. Cantoni performed admirably for Lightnings. N. Jangaziev on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important hornets player was A. Taricco. However, M. Karayılan made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 1.
