Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Brezels. With 8 minutes played, M. Bitėnas of IronEagles fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Brezels had a chance to take the lead after A. Bąski's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 10 minutes. IronEagles almost scored after a swift counterattack 18 minutes into the game, but A. Hartle put the shot from the left flank just outside the goal. 24 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for Brezels was T. Sin. Coming through the middle M. Isasi almost scored the equaliser for IronEagles after 26 minutes, but H. Feistritzer made an excellent save, tipping the awkwardly curled shot past the post. Brezels increased the lead as I. Timkó struck to make the score 2 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Halftime score was 2 - 0. Brezels had most of the ball, with 61 percent of possession.

G. Cugnu had a couple of good opportunities to reply, but the home team's keeper H. Feistritzer was simply unbeatable. IronEagles needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 60 minutes M. Isasi made way for F. Baldino. After 60 minutes, IronEagles switched M. Bitėnas with 朱. 恩毅 (Enyi), hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. D. Aher was handed the IronEagles captain's armband. With 60 minutes played, the IronEagles coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. A. Fulger came on, S. Liévano had to leave the fray. IronEagles came close to narrowing the gap when D. Aher's free kick nearly made it past the outstretched hands of H. Feistritzer after 64 minutes. K. Nørlund increased the lead for Brezels to 3 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! H. Feinen could have increased the lead after 67 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Brezels, with 52 percent of the ball.

Most important Brezels player was K. Nørlund. I. Timkó was a disappointment, however. IronEagles's top performer was clearly F. Baldino. Ž. Drecun on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 0.
