Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Bexelbud. After a fine move down the middle L. Holland nearly gave the home side a goal after 14 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. D. Sunesson was struggling to make the ball dance with his usual trickery and panache, and the opposing players had little trouble shutting him down in these muddy conditions. 32 minutes into the game, Bexelbud seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a solid level of organisation. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Zacattacks, with 68 percent of the ball.

The Bexelbud players spent the break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organisation and regained a solid organisation when the game started again. The referee showed Bexelbud's P. Fagundez the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. The celebrations in the stands could only mean one thing - M. Matei's free kick had found the back of the net and put Zacattacks ahead 1 - 0! 79 minutes in, Bexelbud's O. Heiberg received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Zacattacks to 2 - 0 as M. Matei finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. Ater 82 minutes N. Dobrin seized on an opportunistic attack from the right, and scored for Bexelbud making it 2 - 1. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. A. Vidám squirmed through their central defence after 83 minutes, increasing the lead to 3 - 1. By now, the players in Zacattacks felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Zacattacks claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 68 percent.

E. Dutto performed admirably for Zacattacks. B. Pihl on the other hand, had a terrible day. Bexelbud's top performer was clearly A. Peksoy. However, G. Wszędybył made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 1.
