Superhansi were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Nespereira clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. Superhansi made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left A. Wanderer completely alone with keeper B. Skender, who made a spectacular block. 18 minutes into the game Nespereira managed a counterattack, but D. Monge took a soft shot from the left flank that was easy prey for the alert keeper. Nespereira's A. Tan got himself booked for a foul. Coming in from the right, Nespereira had a good opportunity to convert on a counterattack after 34 minutes, but R. Mijares's attempt to finish was easily stopped. It was 0 - 0 at the break. Superhansi had most of the ball, with 78 percent of possession.

With the match clock at 46 minutes, Superhansi modified their style of play a little bit. The coach of Superhansi wanted to try to change things around after 46 minutes, and gave new tactical instructions. Some great play up the middle by Superhansi led to a chance for J. Heuser to score after 50 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. After 51 minutes, Nespereira surprised their opponents with a breakaway counter attack. The defenders had to resort to a foul to stop it. The free kick that followed was a clever indirect effort that almost succeeded, but the defence read the situation well and the intended recipient was left ruing what might have been. 60 minutes into the game, Superhansi had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to inadequate. A questionable penalty 67 minutes in gave the home side the lead, 1 - 0. The visitors' goalie didn't stand a chance as O. Wörlein knocked the ball home. Players in Superhansi heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. With 79 minutes played, Superhansi's J. Heuser almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. After 80 minutes, the defensive line of Nespereira created a counterattack through the middle that gave M. Khairul Hakimi a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Superhansi, with 73 percent of the ball.

O. Wörlein performed admirably for Superhansi. J. Heuser on the other hand, had a terrible day. Nespereira's top performer was clearly D. Monge. H. Carmona was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 0.
