25661 spectators arrived at husslage Arena, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Nigel Spinks was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Orla 'Profeten' Roedkjær and Kornelius Brägger. husslage started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Tornero - Rotacher, Aannevik, Vasallo - Menken, Henriksson, Ørmen, Seisdedos - Sagna, Belardo, Bigus.

nestorboys decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Laschi - Averous, Mioch, Warnitz - Simmel, Putter, Klinckenberg, Belder, Fedorov - Bochereau, Beentjes.

husslage mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. The visiting T. Beentjes was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 19 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. With 28 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed T. Beentjes of nestorboys to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 2. 33 minutes into the match, nestorboys's A. Simmel demonstrated his famed speed as he raced past his marker and passed the ball to M. Bochereau who chipped it in for 0 - 3. At this point, it was obvious that the players of nestorboys lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. The home crowd cheered when, after 35 minutes, S. Klinckenberg's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. husslage's fans were urging them forward as they tried to get back into the game, and their vocal support was rewarded 37 minutes into the match as M. Sagna ran onto a beautiful ball played through the visitors' defence and slotted it past the keeper to reduce the deficit. 1 - 3. husslage players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. The home team's supporters got excited again when J. Henriksson broke through the visitors' central defence and caught their keeper off guard, making it 2 - 3. 41 minutes into the match, nestorboys could have gone up another goal, but T. Beentjes's penalty kick missed the goal by a mile. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 3. nestorboys claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 53 percent.

husslage's R. Aannevik put his head to a well placed ball, lifted in from the left, and scored to make the score 3 - 3 with 78 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock. nestorboys enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 54 percent of possession.

After the regular 90 minutes, the agony of extra time followed. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 104 minutes into the match, and H. Warnitz wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 3 - 4 for the visitors. Game over, nestorboys win! husslage's best player was L. Bigus. R. Rotacher was a disappointment, however. Most important nestorboys player was T. Beentjes. On the other hand, G. Laschi's play was disheartening. The match ends 3 - 4.
