shimmings had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Papp - Vardītis, Matuszek, Pucer - Jonasson, Sherrod, van Lente, Czekajski, Struthers - Kok, Pistis.

shimmings mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. After 6 minutes of play, H. Hedlius gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. M. Constenla could have put Kevster's up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 7 minutes. With 8 minutes played, Kevster's's M. Constenla almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Kevster's's N. Fieroiu increasing the lead to 2 - 0. P. Antão unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. 2 - 0 was the halftime score. Kevster's had most of the ball, with 62 percent of possession.

shimmings made it 2 - 1 as G. Struthers got a touch to the floated corner kick and flicked the ball to A. van Lente who whipped a low drive in off the far post. 52 minutes into the game, Kevster's were awarded a penalty that M. Constenla turned into 3 - 1 without a problem. T. Trust had a fantastic opportunity to put Kevster's up another goal 66 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. After 69 minutes, O. Tanner put Kevster's ahead 4 - 1 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. R. Mæland increased the lead for Kevster's to 5 - 1, 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! At this point, it was obvious that the players of Kevster's lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Possession in this half belonged to Kevster's, who controlled the ball 63 percent of the time.

Kevster's's top performer was clearly M. Constenla. N. Fieroiu turned in a dismal performance, however. shimmings's best player was B. Kok. G. Struthers on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 5 - 1.
