Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 526 to fc.fes mahjo. Giuseppe Boi was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Dan Rachimi and Artur Navarro. fc.fes started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Sterck - Terzi, Hafız, Penkala, Beati - Cepeda, Chantreau, Liboni, Grønbech - Gach, De Vos.

Football decided to use a 3-4-2 set up. The following players took the field: Leal - Cavallin, Di Majo, Armandi - Faraboschi, Bonomo, Hernandez, Moeraert - Kulik, Rochet.

Today, Football's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. T. Cepeda's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert C. De Vos was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for fc.fes. 1 - 0. The visitors' equaliser seemed sure to come after 6 minutes, following a one on one situation around the left hand side of the goal area, but R. Sterck got the best of it, blocking the shot from G. Moeraert. Football's M. Faraboschi was shown a yellow card after 8 minutes for slicing down an opponent. A loud groan was heard from the fans of fc.fes, as N. Chantreau left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. C. Bellinvia took his place on the field. T. Cepeda was the new captain of fc.fes - handed the armband by the departing player. The referee showed fc.fes's O. Hafız the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. 28 minutes in, Football appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only passable. Given a free kick close to the byline, Football tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let S. Cavallin slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 1 - 1, 32 minutes into the game. 38 minutes into the game, Football seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to poor. Halftime score was 1 - 1. Possession of the ball saw an equal split between the teams during the forty-five minutes.

The Football players spent the break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organisation and regained a passable organisation when the game started again. 80 minutes into the game, Football had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to inadequate. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to O. Hafız, but the fc.fes player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 2 - 1! Cheers filled the stadium as C. De Vos broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 3 - 1 to fc.fes. Confident in their lead, fc.fes's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. 85 minutes into the game, Football seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a poor level of organisation. fc.fes showed their counterattack skill 87 minutes into the match by breaking through the middle, with S. Penkala scoring uncontested for 4 - 1. The fc.fes free kick 88 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of O. Grønbech, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 5 - 1! fc.fes claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 52 percent.

Most important fc.fes player was C. De Vos. G. Liboni on the other hand, had a terrible day. Football's top performer was clearly G. Bonomo. However, S. Cavallin made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 5 - 1.
