For their match strategy, Susijengi had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. The wings were the focus of most of hammers's attacks today. hammers took the lead after J. Passet curved a free kick into the net. 0 - 1 hammers had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. H. Kruuna increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 2. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, J. Barošinec got himself booked. The manager of Susijengi was not happy. Attacking on the wings was the choice for hammers, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. The home crowd was not impressed when F. Ganz came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 19 minutes. hammers were now up 0 - 3. After this, you could see that the players of hammers were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Given a free kick close to the byline, hammers tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let N. Hameseder slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 0 - 4, 30 minutes into the game. 31 minutes into the game, hammers worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 4. Possession in this half belonged to hammers, who controlled the ball 62 percent of the time.

The bench was restless, and with 47 minutes passed Susijengi's coach gave F. Dmitrović the opportunity the player had been hoping for. E. Benschop reluctantly left the field. 55 minutes into the match, L. Näsi came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. An amazing free kick flew past the home keeper 59 minutes into the match, putting hammers ahead 0 - 5. J. Passet was the scorer. With 63 minutes played, H. Kruuna nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. J. Borgman was called on to replace hammers's H. Kruuna after 67 minutes following a nasty collision. With 76 minutes played, hammers put themselves up 0 - 6 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was J. Passet. That made three goals for J. Passet and he was marked down for the hat trick. A drive down the left side allowed J. Borgman to get in close and score another goal for hammers after 80 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 7. hammers claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 60 percent.
