A brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 2116 to Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Bay Johnston was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Noël Molina and Argo Hamster. sscnapoli decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Korenč - Sitzia, Casciotti, Benigno - Parda, Kalkman, Tafuro, Mastrorosa, Lusitani - Malmilyan, Titã.

Landers tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Starters: Cebula - Milcent, Zakkar, Allain - Aruta, Altıntop, Hartung, Rodriguez, Kolletschke - Rogier, Sechtem.

sscnapoli were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Landers tried to focus their attacks down the middle. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 4 minutes into the match, and P. Rogier wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. With 6 minutes played, J. Rodriguez nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. After 17 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed O. Altıntop to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 2. A. Malmilyan challenged the visitors' central defence eagerly, producing a good chance 28 minutes into the game as he went for a through ball. But, as so many times before, the guests' defensive efforts got the best of it. G. Lusitani's speed was clear to see after 30 minutes, as he darted down the wing and released A. Titã who placed the ball into the back of the net to make the score 1 - 2. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 2. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Landers, with 60 percent of the ball.

Players in sscnapoli heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. After 51 minutes of play, A. Titã equalised for sscnapoli after an elegant attack from the right. After some beautiful movement down the left wing, A. Malmilyan scored for sscnapoli putting them ahead 3 - 2, after 56 minutes. The heat made it a terrible day for L. Tafuro, who seemed unable to keep up with the other players. After 74 minutes, the visitors levelled the scores after B. Aruta made it through the middle and struck home to make it 3 - 3. 3 - 4 was the score with 75 minutes played, after P. Kolletschke cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Landers. Landers had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. The visitors' S. Allain took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 82 minutes into the match. 3 - 5 for Landers. Possession in this half belonged to Landers, who controlled the ball 61 percent of the time.

The most dominating sscnapoli player was without a doubt A. Titã. S. Mastrorosa turned in a dismal performance, however. Landers's best player was O. Altıntop. B. Aruta on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 5.
