Dark skies made the crowd of 26534 at via angeloni 1 a little nervous, but the rain held off.

The following players took the field: Rossberger - Tresch, Rohatschek, Antanavičius - Berej, Põld, Gaffuri, Avanzi, Băban - tenchio, Cian.

natra decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Grünbaum - Di Ronza, Schellevis, Baltico - Orlotti, Marongiu, Biascica, Lesignoli, Buttitta - Landesman, Płuciennik.

natra mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. 0 - 1 was the score with 12 minutes played, after F. Buttitta cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for natra. natra players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. R. Baltico was, after 19 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper P. Rossberger made the save. It was obvious that team natra had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. With 24 minutes played, R. Landesman nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. With the scoreboard showing that 27 minutes had been played, natra nearly put themselves up another goal after V. Biascica came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. 0 - 1 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by natra, with 57 percent of the ball.

BI76 needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 47 minutes O. Põld made way for M. Premoli. natra's V. Biascica made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 57 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender slid in and cleared the ball off the line. 58 minutes into the game BI76 managed a counterattack, but S. Cian took a soft shot from the left flank that was easy prey for the alert keeper. A. Gaffuri of BI76 received a yellow card after 58 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. natra were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. After 62 minutes, natra's R. Landesman burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave V. Biascica from natra a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 63 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Unfortunately for BI76, A. Gaffuri was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. F. Korniluk replaced him. With 72 minutes played, the BI76 coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. F. Vázquez came on, A. tenchio had to leave the fray. After 72 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave R. Landesman a chance to increase the lead for natra, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 3. After 77 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for R. Baltico who increased natra's lead to 0 - 4. The players of natra now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. With 78 minutes played, natra put themselves up 0 - 5 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was R. Landesman. This third goal completed a hattrick for R. Landesman. natra claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 67 percent.

V. Antanavičius performed admirably for BI76. On the other hand, F. Korniluk's play was disheartening. natra's top performer was clearly R. Baltico. However, B. Grünbaum made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 5.
