Today, gigante's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. 4 minutes into the game, C. Presilli almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. gigante had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 7 minutes into the match, and T. Bisgaard 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. C. Virághalmy kept the home side in the game with a magnificent save when C. Barbosa delivered an almost perfect free kick to the far post. gigante were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. gigante increased their lead after 14 minutes when A. Silberbauer broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 2, much to the home crowd's dismay. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 2. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by gigante, with 53 percent of the ball.

The gigante players could smell victory in the air. J. Smith wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for U. Egede after 55 minutes. After 55 minutes, the gigante players received new instructions from their manager on how to keep in control of the game. A misunderstanding between the visitors' keeper J. Callesen and his left defence could have resulted in a goal for Doggy, but C. Møller's finish was way too lame. gigante came close to extending their lead as C. Presilli delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 82 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. Always quick and a menace to his opponents, T. Silvius was very close to getting through after 84 minutes, but he could only put the ball into the keeper's arms. C. Barbosa increased gigante's lead to 0 - 3 with a superb free kick strike that flew in just under the far top corner. By now, the players in gigante felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Doggy had a brilliant opportunity to reply as C. Møller received a high ball from the right, striking the ball in the air. Only J. Callesen's reflexes saved him. gigante had most of the ball, with 57 percent of possession.

The most dominating Doggy player was without a doubt C. Møller. R. Hristov turned in a dismal performance, however. gigante's best player was P. Juul. However, C. Lagesen made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 3.
