56530 spectators had come to
Shopping Mall this cloudy day.
Indrek Reismaa was the appointed referee with assistance provided by

A 2-5-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Girls Club.
Lineup: Staicovici - Manolov, Gaspari - Thwaites, Leguen, Guillou, Minton, Örü - Backnang, Gál, Cauchie.

The following players had been chosen: Despinal - Stanilewicz, Ţandrău, Fita, Aurikel, Dingwall - Summermatter, Videanu, Van Heuverzwyn - Reznik, Albuquerque.
For their match strategy, Hachaytiza had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible.
Some great play up the middle by Girls Club led to a chance for
M. Gál to score after 14 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar.
After 25 minutes,
Y. Cauchie came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving Girls Club the lead.
After 35 minutes,
I. Manolov put Girls Club ahead 2 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing.
It was 2 - 0 at the break.
Possession in this half belonged to Girls Club, who controlled the ball 76 percent of the time.
Hachaytiza needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 60 minutes
R. Videanu made way for
C. Camarada.
P. Backnang increased the lead for Girls Club to 3 - 0, 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!
The players of Girls Club now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle.
A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Girls Club to 4 - 0 as
K. Örü finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle.
A. Despinal was caught napping as
P. Backnang lifted a ball over him following a free kick, but the ball hit the bar, rebounding into the keeper's arms.
After 85 minutes, Hachaytiza switched
A. Despinal with
P. Vaillancourt, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch.
K. Summermatter was the new captain of Hachaytiza - handed the armband by the departing player.
Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Girls Club, with 74 percent of the ball.
Y. Cauchie performed admirably for Girls Club.
M. Gál turned in a dismal performance, however.
Most important Hachaytiza player was
B. Reznik.
D. Van Heuverzwyn was a disappointment, however.
The match ends 4 - 0.
