Pressing was the tactic of the day for farmazony. The crowd groaned its disapproval when L. Żuber missed a free kick that would have given farmazony the lead after 18 minutes. J. Boros was the first to reach the corner kick, but his header was blocked by the keeper. However, farmazony's L. Jaworek managed to get hold of the rebound and tucked the ball into the empty net. 1 - 0 farmazony increased the lead as L. Żuber struck to make the score 2 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Coming from the right, V. Vasiliou almost managed to score another goal for farmazony, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. farmazony's D. Niculescu increased the lead to 3 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 36 minutes. The players of farmazony now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. The pressing tactics used by farmazony were successful as the ball remained close to the half way line at all times. It was 3 - 0 at the break. farmazony enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 73 percent of possession.

farmazony managed to extend their lead to 4 - 0 when J. Boros cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. Against a lesser team, farmazony could very well have succeeded with their smart indirect free kick routine after 59 minutes. A trio of passes took the ball all the way past the defenders, but by then the intended recipient was already blocked off and the keeper could make a leisurely save. After 65 minutes, D. Niculescu put farmazony ahead 5 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. After 69 minutes farmazony's L. Żuber contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. The home side's V. Vasiliou came close to extending the lead 73 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but C. Cojocaru managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. G. Wytrych received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 76 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. D. Niculescu had a fantastic opportunity to put farmazony up another goal 79 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. farmazony claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 75 percent.

The most dominating farmazony player was without a doubt D. Niculescu. L. Jaworek on the other hand, had a terrible day. A. Sundsvoll performed admirably for Meer. O. Bianchi was a disappointment, however. The match ends 5 - 0.
