Clear skies welcomed the 32933 spectators who had made their way to hell. Henrik Hilsberg was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Mirko Fois and Jolyon Alderliefste. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for rovers123. The following players took the field: Teixeira Jesus - Schalks, Cetina, Azeitão - Parry, van Orsouw, Crossley, Knowles, Bertil - Farnese, Nanowski.

Blackbirdz had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Melo - Peca, Moldavskiy, Wallenstein - Rošić, Hansen, Aragó, Formby, Villa - Frost, Minguet.

rovers123 used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. Today, Blackbirdz's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. Blackbirdz's goal to make the score 0 - 1 came via a questionable penalty, but B. Rošić struck it home without a second thought. 21 minutes into the game, Blackbirdz worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. It was obvious that Blackbirdz had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. R. Frost of Blackbirdz took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 29 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 2. rovers123's D. Farnese got himself booked for a foul. Halftime score was 0 - 2. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Blackbirdz, with 58 percent of the ball.

After the ball was lifted in from the left, R. Frost was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 68 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. 77 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 3 as T. Minguet finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. The players of Blackbirdz now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. The home crowd cheered when, after 79 minutes, M. Peca's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Blackbirdz, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. Blackbirdz enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 59 percent of possession.

rovers123's best player was H. Schalks. H. Teixeira Jesus was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Blackbirdz player was without a doubt T. Minguet. M. Peca on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 3.
