36342 spectators arrived at Erkovallen, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Jérôme Bernabeu was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Andrejs Martinsons and Lars Rumbold. Erkoboys tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. The following players took the field: Panella - Fjällblom, Casini, Adolfsson, Thörner - Palm, Bragança, Vega Cárdenas, Cesano - Neruda, Dentinho.

Guardians decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Hasselbalch - Jurec, Fagerbo, Soma - Toebosch, Zazacki, Zsíros, Jönsson, Willinger - Timmenga, Elguea.

Guardians's R. Jönsson gave the visitors a 0 - 1 lead after 25 minutes with a superb strike from the right. Guardians's K. Hasselbalch had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 28 minutes having been played. A. Kardas was the replacement. With 29 minutes played, Guardians put themselves up 0 - 2 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was K. Toebosch. With 30 minutes played, C. Palm was very close to reducing the score for Erkoboys with a low drive from the left, but a defender stuck his foot out just in the nick of time, blocking the shot to a corner. A drive down the left side allowed M. Zsíros to get in close and score another goal for Guardians after 30 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 3. Guardians had to make a substitution after 36 minutes. M. Zsíros limped off the field and was replaced by L. Åkesson. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 3. Guardians had most of the ball, with 62 percent of possession.

After 62 minutes, Guardians 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 M. Fagerbo, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 0 - 4. With 69 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed L. Åkesson of Guardians to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 5. After this, you could see that the players of Guardians were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. After 74 minutes, P. Dentinho had a good opportunity to reduce the scoreline for Erkoboys with a chance created through the middle, but wasn't cool enough. The ball went miles over the bar. After 76 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed E. Willinger to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 6. Guardians increased the lead to 0 - 7 as X. Elguea scored from the penalty spot, putting the ball in near the top left corner. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Guardians, with 59 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Erkoboys player was without a doubt J. Neruda. However, M. Adolfsson made a disastrous appearance. Guardians's best player was X. Elguea. A. Kardas on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 7.
