8030 spectators had come to JUNIORS ARENA this cloudy day. Drogomił Żyto was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Yann Vivet and Bastien Chaine. juniors1 had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: Venegas - Dyrkacz, Azabache, Cutean - Castro, Szlage, Vecchiato, Tavousi, Labugger - Mukenio, Lefort.

timeaut decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Robles - Hill, Cavedon, Smith - Pliś, Eichenauer, Sciberras, Rossman, Croguennec - Lozano, Almonte.

timeaut's B. Pliś could have put the guests one up after 6 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but H. Venegas was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of timeaut's C. Hill after 7 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 0 - 1 lead. The timeaut free kick 21 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of F. Almonte, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 0 - 2! By now, the players in timeaut felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. 0 - 2 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by timeaut, with 65 percent of the ball.

B. Pliś left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 46 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. D. Chertenkov was the replacement. The visitors' F. Lozano took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 50 minutes into the match. 0 - 3 for timeaut. The timeaut players could smell victory in the air. S. Croguennec wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for L. Rousseau after 60 minutes. After 76 minutes of game time, L. Rousseau had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but H. Venegas was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. 79 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 4 as F. Almonte finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. timeaut increased their lead after 81 minutes when F. Lozano broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 5, much to the home crowd's dismay. D. Chertenkov could have put his team up another goal 85 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. After 87 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave D. Chertenkov a chance to increase the lead for timeaut, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 6. timeaut had most of the ball, with 64 percent of possession.

juniors1's best player was P. Mukenio. K. Dyrkacz turned in a dismal performance, however. timeaut's top performer was clearly F. Almonte. However, S. Robles made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 6.
