The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 56400 had shown up at LiceJohn Arena for the match. Vasilios Tzanetoulatos was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Giuseppe Maggio and Fabian Nagel. A 4-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for LiceJohnFC. Starters: Nahuelpan - Flont, Naglič, Pavlenko, Haywood - Avdanin, Buhl, 福井 (Fukui), Junolainen, 内田 (Uchida) - Cosín.

K.C.F.C. had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. Lineup: Falvo - Mitsui, Demalata, Okuda, Choi - Babataev, Kojić, Bilson, Musser, Takemura - Haie.

It was an obvious ambition of LiceJohnFC to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. K.C.F.C. were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. K.C.F.C. had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. A well placed corner kick from T. Mitsui was followed by A. Haie's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for K.C.F.C., the score now 0 - 1. A. Cosín charged down the left and had a wonderful opportunity to score the equaliser for LiceJohnFC, but the shot went well wide of the goal. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. K.C.F.C. claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 67 percent.

K.C.F.C. came close to extending their lead as A. Haie delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 52 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. LiceJohnFC mounted an inspired counterattack down the right wing after 53 minutes, but A. Pavlenko was unable to convert from short range. A counterattack by LiceJohnFC after 69 minutes could have resulted in a goal, but 雄. 内田 (Uchida), coming in on the left, couldn't get the shot off. The bench was restless, and with 70 minutes passed LiceJohnFC's coach gave J. Pihl the opportunity the player had been hoping for. 雄. 内田 (Uchida) reluctantly left the field. LiceJohnFC needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 70 minutes A. Cosín made way for C. Yitzchaki. With 80 minutes played, the LiceJohnFC coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. J. Pilny came on, J. Naglič had to leave the fray. K.C.F.C. enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 65 percent of possession.

C. Yitzchaki performed admirably for LiceJohnFC. J. Pilny turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating K.C.F.C. player was without a doubt A. Bilson. Y. Choi was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 1.
