Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 4 minutes into the match left Allstars's J. Cummins completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. S. Shchetinin made a superb strike after 11 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors' defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner. Chimps's C. Perencin had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 16 minutes having been played. R. Bridgman was the replacement. The home crowd cheered when, after 19 minutes, I. Valdés's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. 33 minutes into the match, Chimps's A. Moiaëziz demonstrated his famed speed as he raced past his marker and passed the ball to F. Ferracioli who chipped it in for 1 - 1. Making his way up the middle 35 minutes into the match, F. Ferracioli almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert O. Grøn blocked it to keep the score level. 1 - 1 was the halftime score. Chimps claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 59 percent.

I. Valdés of Allstars was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. After 62 minutes of play, R. Bridgman gave the home team a 2 - 1 lead after an attack coming in from the right. The cannonball from 35 metres by P. Tasca of Allstars was an impressive sight, but didn't make it into the net. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Chimps's E. Marino increasing the lead to 3 - 1. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Chimps lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Chimps to 4 - 1 as F. Ferracioli finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. Chimps's F. Ferracioli struck his penalty well enough to beat the goalkeeper and extend the home team's lead to 5 - 1 after 82 minutes. By then F. Ferracioli had scored three goals - a hat trick! Possession in this half belonged to Chimps, who controlled the ball 60 percent of the time.

The most dominating Chimps player was without a doubt M. Nilsson. On the other hand, J. Cader's play was disheartening. Allstars's top performer was clearly O. Grøn. I. Valdés on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 5 - 1.
