Grasrunners demonstrated their creative tactics on the field. With 6 minutes played, H. Gilsing of Grasrunners fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to D. Focardi, but the Grasrunners player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! Things were deteriorating for the away team as Grasrunners scored another to make it 2 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for R. Eza after 16 minutes. F. von Günderode of Grasrunners received a yellow card after 17 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. After 22 minutes, C. Buettner put Grasrunners ahead 3 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. By now, the players in Grasrunners felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Cheers filled the stadium as I. Rusanov broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 4 - 0 to Grasrunners. Halftime score was 4 - 0. Grasrunners enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 79 percent of possession.

After 54 minutes, A. dos Ramos sent the corner kick right to F. von Günderode who headed it sharply past the keeper. 5 - 0! Things were going to get worse for the visitors. D. Primerano squirmed through their central defence after 55 minutes, increasing the lead to 6 - 0. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Grasrunners's O. Dedier increasing the lead to 7 - 0. Grasrunners increased the lead as I. Rusanov struck to make the score 8 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. With 80 minutes played, Grasrunners's C. Buettner almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. Grasrunners's A. dos Ramos struck his penalty well enough to beat the goalkeeper and extend the home team's lead to 9 - 0 after 82 minutes. Possession in this half belonged to Grasrunners, who controlled the ball 82 percent of the time.

Most important Grasrunners player was D. Primerano. On the other hand, F. von Günderode's play was disheartening. Gestrekte's top performer was clearly H. Schimscheimer. Ş. Oflaz was a disappointment, however. The match ends 9 - 0.
