Clouds darkened the skies at Grefsen stadion as 1800 spectators turned up for the match. Anders Ståhlborg was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Markus Zumkehr and Jesús Coira. Chargers started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Bubnowicz - Cadamuro, Tvedt, Aspås - Røste, Afsah, Knutsson, Strandflod, Kortekaas - Stensvold, Kolle.

Valente decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. Lineup: Christiansson - Olmo, Cutiva, Auer, Volánek - Miranda, Sandvold, Rimer, Brochier, Rats - Barletta.

It was an obvious ambition of Chargers to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. Valente decided to play creatively. The suddenness of the Chargers's A. Kortekaas's pass to T. Stensvold after 2 minutes caught the opposition wrong-footed, and they could only watch as the ball sailed home for 1 - 0. Valente's right side looked dangerous 16 minutes in, but R. Bubnowicz made a good save on A. Barletta's hard shot to the top corner. Cheers filled the stadium as P. Afsah broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 2 - 0 to Chargers. 27 minutes in, an amazing pass from the left side resulted in a goal for the visitors, as M. Rimer anticipated the through ball and scored, reducing the deficit to 2 - 1. Chargers increased the lead as P. Afsah struck to make the score 3 - 1 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Chargers scored another to make it 4 - 1 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for D. Kolle after 36 minutes. By now, the players in Chargers felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. T. Stensvold of Chargers received a yellow card after 37 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Halftime score was 4 - 1. Valente enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

Attacking on the wings was the choice for Chargers, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. 70 minutes into the match, Valente replied and reduced the lead to 4 - 2. L. Miranda scored on a marvellous cross pass coming in from the left. A. Barletta had a couple of good opportunities to reply, but the home team's keeper R. Bubnowicz was simply unbeatable. Chargers's J. Strandflod was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 81 minutes. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Valente, with 59 percent of the ball.

Most important Chargers player was D. Kolle. However, R. Bubnowicz made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Valente player was without a doubt A. Barletta. On the other hand, S. Cutiva's play was disheartening. The match ends 4 - 2.
