The following players took the field: Kular - Wijnen, Brzykcy, Mérei, Becerra, Hollerleitner-Ziegle - Carrière, de Vin, Gapp - Godeau, Larsson.

Endevant tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Marks - Malczyński, Fischer, Celentano - Hofschneider, Teterycz, Curvers, Cyzio, Mizrachi - Školík, Giermek.

ROTA75 displayed their ability to play creatively. O. Celentano behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 5 minutes as he gave the ball away to M. Carrière. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of Endevant's F. Fischer after 11 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 0 - 1 lead. D. Školík came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over K. Kular but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. With the scoreboard showing that 15 minutes had been played, Endevant nearly put themselves up another goal after K. Cyzio came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. 21 minutes in, ROTA75 appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only solid. ROTA75's M. Carrière put his head to a well placed ball, lifted in from the left, and scored to make the score 1 - 1 with 29 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock. Endevant's D. Školík got himself booked for a foul. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by ROTA75, with 51 percent of the ball.

Despite his frustration resulting in the smashing of a few teacups, the coach of ROTA75 was able to get his message across, and raised ROTA75's organisation to solid. The corner kick from A. Brzykcy was powerfully met by the head of M. Gapp to make the score 2 - 1. Endevant were close to putting the equaliser away after 57 minutes as the opposing defence lost control of the ball to A. Mizrachi in a scuffle towards the left of the goal, but in the end the ball was cleared over the dead ball line. 62 minutes in, ROTA75's A. Brzykcy received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. P. Larsson could have increased the lead after 65 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. After 70 minutes, S. de Vin put ROTA75 ahead 3 - 1 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. After this, you could see that the players of ROTA75 were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. 74 minutes into the game, ROTA75 seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to inadequate. Endevant claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 52 percent.

ROTA75's top performer was clearly S. de Vin. A. Brzykcy was a disappointment, however. D. Školík performed admirably for Endevant. However, O. Celentano made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 1.
