DINO clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. Pandora took the lead after J. Espanhol curved a free kick into the net. 0 - 1 Pandora's P. Francardelli refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 14 minutes. E. Arcieri received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 16 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. With things not going too well on the field, the DINO coach made the decision to swap the positions of N. Marano and A. Cusanno with 24 minutes played. With 34 minutes played, Pandora put themselves up 0 - 2 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was J. Espanhol. Halftime score was 0 - 2. DINO had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

DINO refused to be intimidated and, breaking through the middle, W. Stoltfus managed to slip the ball home for 1 - 2. The crowd roared in delight as N. Marano finished off a spectacular series of passes through the middle to even the score for DINO 78 minutes into the match. 2 - 2. After 85 minutes, DINO's lack of experience resulted in the team's loss of their edge at the end of the game. The guests took the lead 86 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in P. Francardelli scoring to make it 2 - 3. Neither team were able to dominate possession this half.

Most important DINO player was K. Dufour. However, A. Cusanno made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Pandora player was without a doubt Ľ. Kriha. On the other hand, M. Hellerberg's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 3.
