Dark skies made the crowd of 31219 at galten arena a little nervous, but the rain held off. Mickaël Marguin was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Patryk Opaliński and Esteban Uribe. møffe tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Birkner - Lupascu, Gorbanov, Sargan - Nizet, Lund, Holstein, Kelchtermans, Alpedrinha - Toura, Omicini.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for skæve-tæer. Starters: Barbu - Chirilă, Wynn, Gottlieb - Ilvesniemi, Berggreen, Corrons, Hedeboe, Bartning - Buta, Gregor.

møffe were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 7 minutes into the match left skæve-tæer's K. Berggreen completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. After 23 minutes skæve-tæer's V. Hedeboe had to be carried off on a stretcher in agony. N. Rudloff came in to replace him. møffe tried to even things up by sending a long ball towards the centrally placed strikers, but the visitors' defence got the best of this rather direct style of play. Some fine passing in the middle of the pitch, carving open the away defence, should have led to a goal for møffe, but Z. Sargan's shot went over the bar. Halftime score was 0 - 1. møffe had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

With 46 minutes played, the møffe coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. F. Falling came on, B. Omicini had to leave the fray. After 52 minutes, skæve-tæer raised their score by one when E. Bartning's dangerous low cross was cleverly tucked in at the near post by I. Buta. 0 - 2. The bench was restless, and with 60 minutes passed møffe's coach gave M. Coazo the opportunity the player had been hoping for. M. Birkner reluctantly left the field. After the ball was lifted in from the left, X. Corrons was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 70 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. O. Chirilă of skæve-tæer took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 76 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 3. At this point, it was obvious that the players of skæve-tæer lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Attacking on the wings was the choice for møffe, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. The home team's supporters got excited again when T. Lund broke through the visitors' central defence and caught their keeper off guard, making it 1 - 3. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by møffe, with 59 percent of the ball.

møffe's best player was T. Toura. On the other hand, M. Coazo's play was disheartening. The most dominating skæve-tæer player was without a doubt I. Buta. N. Rudloff turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 3.
