Clear skies welcomed the 3282 spectators who had made their way to De Adelaarshorst. Julian Frühwald was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Kåre Skjærven and Bjørge Nilsen. Kowet tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Carvalhal - Janus, Broerse, Fracchia - Wansink, Mindur, Pérez, Recki, Vaglio Bianco - Brem, Louzano.

Mohsen started off with a 5-4-1 lineup. Starters: Sagron - Aflakian, Orawski, Orbán, Haji Mohammadlu, Arianfar - Törnlius, Popivoda, Mamedaliev, Jouan - Pinczés.

It was an obvious ambition of Kowet to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. A. Louzano caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 18 minutes. This gave Kowet the 1 - 0 lead. Players in Kowet heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. Coming from the right, M. Janus almost managed to score another goal for Kowet, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. A. Louzano unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. After 32 minutes, B. Brem put Kowet ahead 2 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. The bench was restless, and with 44 minutes passed Mohsen's coach gave P. Lopez García the opportunity the player had been hoping for. M. Törnlius reluctantly left the field. Halftime score was 2 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Kowet, who controlled the ball 67 percent of the time.

Content with how the game was proceeding, the Kowet coach let A. Goschler-Praxmarer replace R. Broerse after 46 minutes. The coach of Kowet was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, A. Skrzyszowski came on for P. Vaglio Bianco. F. Pérez wanted to play on, but the Kowet coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 46 minutes into the game by S. Adriaanse. Kowet solidified their lead at the 56 minute mark, as J. Wansink dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 3 - 0. Kowet put themselves up 4 - 0 when A. Louzano broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. Confident in their lead, Kowet's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, M. Recki got himself booked. The manager of Kowet was not happy. 76 minutes in, Kowet's A. Goschler-Praxmarer received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. After 78 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and S. Adriaanse gave the Kowet supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 5 - 0. A great save by keeper E. Sagron after 79 minutes kept the visitors in the game after B. Brem struck from the left with a real cannonball. With 80 minutes played, the Mohsen coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. K. Torjani came on, A. Pinczés had to leave the fray. With 81 minutes played, Kowet put themselves up 6 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to C. Fracchia, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. Kowet claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 72 percent.

Most important Kowet player was A. Mindur. L. Carvalhal was a disappointment, however. K. Mamedaliev performed admirably for Mohsen. C. Orbán on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 6 - 0.
