Lineup: Cerniatovi - Lelesz, Zehetner, Byskov, Denoo, Basile - Fioletti, Itshaki, Vanderkeerssen - Bacalu, Banek.

Extrateres tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Rubio Pérez - Enciu, Dumlu, De Biase - Stamati, Crişan, Orheianu, Cărbunaru, Jung Laursen - Dumić, Guillemot.

Phoenix clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. Phoenix had to make a substitution after 13 minutes. M. Basile limped off the field and was replaced by S. Caliga. Halftime score was 0 - 0. Extrateres enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 54 percent of possession.

After 47 minutes, Extrateres put themselves up 0 - 1, as J. Guillemot finished off a strike from the left with a real cannonball of a shot. E. Crişan behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 48 minutes as he gave the ball away to N. Vanderkeerssen. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. 78 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 2 as E. Crişan finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. After this, you could see that the players of Extrateres were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. The visitors nearly scored again after 84 minutes, but a superb save by P. Cerniatovi kept P. Jung Laursen's free kick out of the net. Phoenix almost scored after a swift counterattack 85 minutes into the game, but N. Vanderkeerssen put the shot from the left flank just outside the goal. Extrateres claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 53 percent.

Phoenix's best player was P. Cerniatovi. S. Caliga was a disappointment, however. J. Guillemot performed admirably for Extrateres. On the other hand, O. Orheianu's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 2.
