F.C.Eucariotes had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Casalprim - Pekko, Graja, Brau - Mikulica, Wästerfeldt, De Leo, Kesman, Fini - Wils, Gaillard.

Players clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. F.C.Eucariotes used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. With 9 minutes played, G. Kastner of Players fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. After 10 minutes, P. Brau sent the corner kick right to R. Wils who headed it sharply past the keeper. 0 - 1! After 24 minutes, F.C.Eucariotes's F. Kesman burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. Players's L. Ożga was shown a yellow card after 28 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Players didn't give in and with 36 minutes played V. Moratzaliev was able to make the score 1 - 2 after an attack on the right. After 37 minutes of game time, C. Gaillard had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but J. Caixinha was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. P. Ivan was called on to replace Players's G. Kudasik after 38 minutes following a nasty collision. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Players, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 2. Possession in this half belonged to F.C.Eucariotes, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

The visitors' C. Gaillard took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 50 minutes into the match. 1 - 3 for F.C.Eucariotes. As the game started to slip away for Players, the manager decided to change the tactical approach. F.C.Eucariotes had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. After 69 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave D. Mikulica a chance to increase the lead for F.C.Eucariotes, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 1 - 4. Confident in their lead, F.C.Eucariotes's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. After 70 minutes, Players switched G. Kastner with M. Valtierra, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. F.C.Eucariotes enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.

Most important Players player was F. van der Schier. L. Ożga was a disappointment, however. P. Brau performed admirably for F.C.Eucariotes. However, D. Mikulica made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 4.
