Some things can only be learned through experience, and M. Hellerberg should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting čardak a goal with 10 minutes of the match played. Pandora took the lead 20 minutes into the game, making the score 0 - 1 after some elegant movement down the middle. Ľ. Kriha was the scorer. G. Spagnulo was just a finger's breadth away from an equaliser for čardak with a strike from the left, but F. Ferreros managed to ward the shot off for a corner. After 37 minutes, Pandora's P. Francardelli burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Pandora lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. The referee showed Pandora's J. Espanhol the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. A loud groan was heard from the fans of čardak, as A. Figueira left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. C. Tudor took his place on the field. The home crowd cheered when, after 42 minutes, M. Väättänen's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. D. Burtea got a fingertip on P. Francardelli's shot from the left 43 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. 0 - 2 was the halftime score. Pandora claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 65 percent.

A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from D. Stuparu after 78 minutes, and prevented Pandora from going up another goal. An amazing free kick flew past the home keeper 84 minutes into the match, putting Pandora ahead 0 - 3. J. Espanhol was the scorer. The Pandora players could smell victory in the air. M. Väättänen wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for E. Behrem after 84 minutes. M. Ávila wanted to play on, but the Pandora coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 84 minutes into the game by T. Arnautović. J. Espanhol was handed the Pandora captain's armband. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, čardak's G. Spagnulo was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 85 minutes. O. Çakar was given a chance to change things around. The čardak captaincy was handed to C. Tudor. After 88 minutes Y. Ettehadi could have reduced the lead with a blistering strike from the left wing, had it not been for an excellent block by the visitors' keeper. Possession in this half belonged to Pandora, who controlled the ball 63 percent of the time.

Most important čardak player was Y. Ettehadi. C. Tudor on the other hand, had a terrible day. Pandora's best player was Ľ. Kriha. M. Hellerberg was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 3.
