Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 35200 to Dead Dogs Coliseum. Jesús Manobens was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Valery Ugolev and Luud Geut. dead decided to use a 5-4-1 set up. They fielded: Giusberti - Ramos, Grochociński, Scabini, Grillenzoni, Magnoni - Cigarán, Pesl, O´Caster, Haubenwaller - Chaize.

Lazio2005 had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. Lineup: Valencia - Ferranti, Strikanov, Vivas - Jovanović, Fehér, Borrego, Paterson - Sirera, Ciarrocchi, Astorri.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for dead. For their match strategy, Lazio2005 had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. Lazio2005's M. Jovanović had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 16 minutes having been played. Ľ. Kanišák was the replacement. 23 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for dead to take the lead after a good cross from the right found H. Pesl alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. I. Vivas was first to reach a ball launched long through the center from Lazio2005's defence 26 minutes into the game. He managed to keep his cool and beat the goalkeeper to make the score 0 - 1. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. dead claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 56 percent.

dead needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 65 minutes C. O´Caster made way for A. Ramirez. The bench was restless, and with 70 minutes passed dead's coach gave G. Fourage the opportunity the player had been hoping for. C. Cigarán reluctantly left the field. The visitors' C. Borrego took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 74 minutes into the match. 0 - 2 for Lazio2005. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave F. Grillenzoni from dead a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 79 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! With 82 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of Lazio2005 resulted in a counterattack that set L. Paterson free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. dead enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 60 percent of possession.

dead's top performer was clearly F. Grillenzoni. A. Chaize was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Lazio2005 player was without a doubt L. Paterson. Ľ. Kanišák on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 2.
