The strategy for SUPERMGO was to use their ability to press. It was obvious that REBRACA were using their pressing skill as their primary tactic. 3 minutes into the game SUPERMGO managed a counterattack, but L. Dropa took a soft shot from the left flank that was easy prey for the alert keeper. SUPERMGO's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. After 14 minutes a very unfortunate collision in the penalty area led to SUPERMGO's A. Di Nunno being carried off the pitch and replaced by G. Cordua. The SUPERMGO captaincy was handed to M. Debrunner. J. Wilkman behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 30 minutes as he gave the ball away to E. Abade. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. Possession was split evenly between the teams.

A. Martusciello of REBRACA received a yellow card after 62 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, E. Abade got himself booked. The manager of SUPERMGO was not happy. L. Santaera of REBRACA was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. The pressing tactics used by SUPERMGO were successful as the ball remained close to the half way line at all times. After 89 minutes, the REBRACA coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving P. La Rosa off the field. M. Gogava took his place. 89 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a REBRACA substitution. F. Caimi came on for E. Pipitone. Y. Borodin would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. P. Maltese entered the game for SUPERMGO as the match clock showed 89 minutes. 89 minutes into the game, SUPERMGO wanted to bring some new energy to their game. A. Desiato gave A. Maraschin a quick hug as he left the field. SUPERMGO enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.

Still tied after 90 minutes, the match continued into extra time. The REBRACA coach adjusted their lineup with 91 minutes gone. V. Biunno and A. Torroni assumed each other's positions. After 91 minutes, the REBRACA coach made a sign to A. Formenti, who soon changed positions with A. Martusciello. After 91 minutes, the REBRACA manager redeployed his men. L. Santaera swapped positions with J. Wilkman. Several players were looking tired, especially V. Biunno who gifted the opposition a goal as he lost the ball to a still energetic P. Maltese of SUPERMGO after 103 minutes. 1 - 0 What a dramatic win for SUPERMGO! SUPERMGO's top performer was clearly A. Põld. On the other hand, G. Cordua's play was disheartening. G. Caldiero performed admirably for REBRACA. A. van der Wolff was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 0.
