Grecia f.c had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: van Geffen - Abussi, Danielsson, Moreira - Arellano, 新阳 (Xinyang) , Körber, De Marco, Simonski - Grifitths, Cordero.

Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 23 minutes into the match, and R. Moreira wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. With 38 minutes gone, Grecia f.c had a free kick in a decent position. Despite this being a great chance for a shot, they tried a cheeky move intended to bypass the defence. However, V. Grifitths did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out. Halftime score was 0 - 1. Grecia f.c enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 51 percent of possession.

After 57 minutes, T. Savouridis sent the corner kick right to V. Atamer who headed it sharply past the keeper. 1 - 1! 80 minutes into the game, FCL wanted to bring some new energy to their game. F. Vrisekoop gave F. Zarbo a quick hug as he left the field. There was concern in the stands when, at the 80 minute mark, FCL's F. Zarbo hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. Grecia f.c took the lead after 82 minutes making the score 1 - 2. S. Cordero placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. E. Dell'Amura got a fingertip on S. Cordero's shot from the left 83 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. FCL mounted an inspired counterattack down the right wing after 84 minutes, but T. Savouridis was unable to convert from short range. The bench was restless, and with 85 minutes passed FCL's coach gave G. Zamora the opportunity the player had been hoping for. M. Mastropietro reluctantly left the field. 85 minutes in, Grecia f.c's J. Danielsson received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. A loud groan was heard from the fans of FCL, as G. Illera left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. C. Dorne took his place on the field. C. Dorne was handed the FCL captain's armband. Grecia f.c's R. Moreira left the field after 87 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was J. Soler. Possession in this half belonged to Grecia f.c, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

The most dominating FCL player was without a doubt J. Stadtrand. C. Tourné was a disappointment, however. Most important Grecia f.c player was V. Grifitths. G. De Marco on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 2.
