Berkley decided to use a 4-5-1 set up.
They fielded: Girardello - Neves Brito, Ayala, Castaneda, Caballero - Correia, Bănăţean, Biscui, Loebbeke, Crisp - Pesavento.
A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for xUNDEADx.

Berkley were relying on their ability to counter-attack.
xUNDEADx were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks.
After several obvious shirt pulling incidents,
V. Gulbani got himself booked. The manager of xUNDEADx was not happy.
After 19 minutes, xUNDEADx's
V. Gulbani fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit!
The boggy pitch disrupted the game, especially for technical players like
T. Kvistgaard.
The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of xUNDEADx's
T. Scheithauser after 21 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 0 - 1 lead.
V. Gulbani increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 2.
By now, the players in xUNDEADx felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward.
It was a bad day for the usually speedy
V. Gulbani. The mud seemed to slow him down.
xUNDEADx increased their lead after 40 minutes when
S. Sánchez broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 3, much to the home crowd's dismay.
After 41 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Berkley found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to
passable.
43 minutes into the game, xUNDEADx worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch.
After 44 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed
D. Skinderholm to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 4.
44 minutes into the game, Berkley had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to
poor.
It was 0 - 4 at the break.
Possession in this half belonged to xUNDEADx, who controlled the ball 63 percent of the time.
A review of the gameplan helped Berkley get back to a
passable organisation when the referee blew his whistle again.
The home crowd was not impressed when
V. Gulbani came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 59 minutes. xUNDEADx were now up 0 - 5.
xUNDEADx had to manage with a reduced squad after 62 minutes, as
M. Jarkovský got sent off for a needless foul away from the game's action.
72 minutes in, Berkley appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only
weak.
73 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 6 as
M. Genender finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick.
77 minutes into the game, Berkley seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a
poor level of organisation.
The corner kick from
D. Skinderholm was powerfully met by the head of
T. Scheithauser to make the score 0 - 7.
With 80 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed
T. Scheithauser of xUNDEADx to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 8.
That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for
T. Scheithauser.
A drive down the left side allowed
T. Scheithauser to get in close and score another goal for xUNDEADx after 85 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 9.
Berkley were able to draw a foul with their counterattacks, but the shot from
R. Caballero went into the arms of the keeper.
xUNDEADx had most of the ball, with 67 percent of possession.
Most important Berkley player was
B. Loebbeke.
X. Ayala was a disappointment, however.
xUNDEADx's best player was
S. Sánchez.
On the other hand,
D. Schatteman's play was disheartening.
The match ends 0 - 9.
