ALAY tried to focus their attacks down the middle. ALAY's R. Cantoni could have put the guests one up after 4 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but S. Schöckel was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. After 19 minutes, following yet another great corner, S. Romani's flick on at the near post reached G. Faoro, who was just wide with his snapshot - the ball went out for a goal kick. Largovinch took the lead after 27 minutes as a result of N. Kulvits's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. Largovinch's J. Barjak had an excellent opportunity after 29 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! 1 - 0 was the halftime score. Largovinch had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

Things were going to get worse for the visitors. N. Kulvits squirmed through their central defence after 48 minutes, increasing the lead to 2 - 0. With 51 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock, ALAY showed some good skill and were able to reduce the score to 2 - 1 when G. Faoro got past the home side's central defenders right in front of the goal. ALAY's P. Tegner was shown a yellow card after 59 minutes for slicing down an opponent. After 70 minutes Largovinch's S. Schöckel limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. After 77 minutes, Largovinch sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached W. van Tulder, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 3 - 1. After 79 minutes, Largovinch's lack of experience resulted in the team's loss of their edge at the end of the game. Largovinch enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.

Largovinch's best player was A. Giannantonio. However, S. Schöckel made a disastrous appearance. G. Petitpas performed admirably for ALAY. A. Dovgalev turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 1.
