Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 1000 to arnhild stadium. Víctor Cotrina was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Joseph Wyman and Daniel Ehrhart. A 5-2-3 alignment was the formation of choice for arnhild. The following players took the field: Jørgensen - Lante-Stein, Alonso Soto, Bucur, Holum, Ahčan - Avalos, Efremov - Nøkleby, Rantala, Stokke.

Andervenne tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Starters: Kadiev - Rokkala, Villa, Paulin - Meshkalla, Raftl, Wilhelmshorst, Vierkorn, Meißmer - Holger, Salas.

Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of arnhild. Andervenne tried to focus their attacks down the middle. Andervenne's H. Holger left the field after 3 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was R. Henriques. H. Jørgensen looked great 12 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' G. Salas. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 20 minutes into the match left Andervenne's F. Raftl completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, V. Rantala got himself booked. The manager of arnhild was not happy. One of many good crosses from M. Efremov on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by V. Rantala, who scored for arnhild. 1 - 1 arnhild took the lead 32 minutes in, as J. Holum broke through on the left and put the 2 - 1 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. Andervenne's V. Paulin got himself booked for a foul. V. Rantala of arnhild had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. D. Łempicki came in to finish the match. F. Raftl fired a shot from distance after 36 minutes, but the long shot couldn't find the net for Andervenne. M. Efremov of arnhild received a yellow card after 38 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Halftime score was 2 - 1. Andervenne claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 56 percent.

arnhild hit back on the counter attack 66 minutes into the game with a free kick. Initially it seemed wasted, hit wide towards the wing. But there was an idea to it - the ball was then crossed towards G. Bucur, who was waiting for it in the box. That's 3 - 1! Don't forget to thank the set pieces coach for that idea! D. Łempicki could have increased the lead after 67 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. Andervenne players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. The visitors replied 78 minutes into the game, reducing the home side's lead to 3 - 2, as R. Henriques dashed up the middle, easily lobbing the ball over the home team's keeper. J. Rokkala came close to levelling the score 83 minutes into the game, as he was set up with a through ball coming in from the left, but his shot hit the post. 85 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as M. Ahčan broke through, making the score 4 - 2 for arnhild. Cheers filled the stadium as R. Nøkleby broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 5 - 2 to arnhild. Neither team was controlling the possession at this point in the match, with the stats showing a 50:50 split.

The most dominating arnhild player was without a doubt J. Avalos. However, J. Holum made a disastrous appearance. Most important Andervenne player was T. Wilhelmshorst. On the other hand, J. Rokkala's play was disheartening. The match ends 5 - 2.
