chachany displayed their ability to play creatively. A. Acurio behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 29 minutes as he gave the ball away to R. Caycho. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. chachany fans held their breath as A. Mirat scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 1 - 0! The score became 2 - 0 at 34 minutes into the game, when chachany were given a penalty which D. Segovia blasted straight down the middle giving the keeper no chance! The visitors got one back when J. Hómez finished off a pass from the left and scored after 35 minutes. 2 - 1 was the score. chachany's W. Wagenführ was shown a yellow card after 39 minutes for slicing down an opponent. The visitors almost came back with an equaliser 40 minutes into the match after a good combination down the middle, but when R. Krišanda tried to finish the attack, he couldn't deliver the shot hard enough to seriously challenge the keeper. It was 2 - 1 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by chachany, with 67 percent of the ball.

J. Hómez sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from M. Bobovský after 58 minutes of play, making the score 2 - 2. 63 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for chachany to take the lead after a good cross from the right found W. Wagenführ alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. The terraces were silenced after 73 minutes when SVK's J. Hómez put the guests ahead 2 - 3, following an attack on the right. This third goal completed a hattrick for J. Hómez. The visitors added to their lead 83 minutes into the game, after a sensational penalty kick by SVK's M. Bobovský slid just past the home keeper. 2 - 4. W. Wagenführ almost reduced the deficit, having drawn the entire left side defence away, but the shot went straight into the arms of the goalkeeper. chachany had most of the ball, with 69 percent of possession.

Most important chachany player was L. Caxias. I. Ivanovs was a disappointment, however. SVK's top performer was clearly W. Gierej. A. Acurio turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 4.
