Malfitano was noted down as the scorer. The home keeper was stunned 11 minutes into the match when he misjudged the free kick by S. Pescio and dived in the wrong direction. The visitors increased the lead to 0 - 3. After this, you could see that the players of ECPA were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. With 23 minutes played, ECPA put themselves up 0 - 4 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was L. Stöckli.

ECPA increased their lead after 75 minutes when J. Pyöttiälä broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 9, much to the home crowd's dismay. vasco's F. Ferreros got himself booked for a foul.
