Forze had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Malentacchi - Labis, Sunesson, Chevallier - Mülhaupt, Rikardsson, bin Hussain, Meléndez, Ñora - Schalke, Scharnhauser.

The wings were the focus of most of Tirassegno91's attacks today. Forze's goal to make the score 0 - 1 came via a questionable penalty, but N. Chevallier struck it home without a second thought. After 21 minutes, Forze's R. Scharnhauser burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. Confident in their lead, Forze's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. With 25 minutes played, Forze put themselves up 0 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was S. Meléndez. The visitors' R. Scharnhauser took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 35 minutes into the match. 0 - 4 for Forze. Forze's A. Labis was shown a yellow card after 36 minutes for slicing down an opponent. 0 - 4 was the halftime score. Forze had most of the ball, with 54 percent of possession.

After 54 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave R. Scharnhauser a chance to increase the lead for Forze, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 5. By then R. Scharnhauser had scored three goals - a hat trick! As the game started to slip away for Tirassegno91, the manager decided to change the tactical approach. After 60 minutes, Tirassegno91 used a short break in the game to take new instructions from their coach. The Tirassegno91 coach was desperate to reverse his team's fortunes in the game, and ordered his team to change strategy. The home side worked hard to get through the middle and as a result, had a good chance of getting one back as F. Glattfelder tried lifting the ball over keeper R. Malentacchi. Unfortunately, the ball went just over the bar. Unhappy with the result so far in the game, the Tirassegno91 manager used a brief break in play after 65 minutes to give the players new directives. The Tirassegno91 players listened closely to their manager, as he gave new tactical instructions for the team. M. Mülhaupt wanted to play on, but the Forze coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 65 minutes into the game by G. á Kirkjuteigi. The home crowd was not impressed when R. Scharnhauser came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 66 minutes. Forze were now up 0 - 6. After 71 minutes, Forze's S. Meléndez burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 7. J. bin Hussain left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 75 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. F. Tamudo was the replacement. Possession in this half belonged to Forze, who controlled the ball 56 percent of the time.

Tirassegno91's top performer was clearly M. Romanato. On the other hand, A. Weeda's play was disheartening. R. Scharnhauser performed admirably for Forze. F. Tamudo turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 7.
