For their match strategy, H.I.F.K. had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. Today, Partizan's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. 5 minutes into the game, E. Metsemakers had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide. H.I.F.K.'s E. Tumini was shown a yellow card after 19 minutes for slicing down an opponent. After 20 minutes, H. Ravea came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving H.I.F.K. the lead. After 27 minutes, E. Tumini put H.I.F.K. ahead 2 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. After 32 minutes H.I.F.K.'s E. Tumini contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. H.I.F.K.'s E. Tumini increased the lead to 3 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 34 minutes. Confident in their lead, H.I.F.K.'s players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. M. Ravela squirmed through their central defence after 40 minutes, increasing the lead to 4 - 0. The teams went for the halftime break at 4 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by H.I.F.K., with 60 percent of the ball.

After 76 minutes Partizan's F. Baronti limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. The referee showed Partizan's J. Hulpiau the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. H.I.F.K. enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 60 percent of possession.

Most important H.I.F.K. player was M. Ravela. However, K. Nawara made a disastrous appearance. Partizan's best player was M. Håkansson. H. Hochleitner turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 4 - 0.
