2630 punters turned up at Estadio "Nachtigal", and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Leevi Kekäläinen was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Davor Apostolović and Mircea Negrea. Sorok tactics involved an interesting 3-4-3 combination. Starters: Sakharov - Ezernytskiy, Geels, Sommier - Shirko, Lautenschlager, Kamenyuka, Almeida Batista - Stridby, Michot, Kostyuk.

UeValencia decided to use a 5-5-0 set up. Lineup: Jacquemain - Rybiałek, Waar, Michoń, Hänninen, Kubiak - Fasching, Echebarrieta, Søvik, Spriet, Roße -.

X. Echebarrieta behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 20 minutes as he gave the ball away to W. Lautenschlager. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. Sorok's G. Kamenyuka tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave M. Søvik from UeValencia a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 36 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! X. Echebarrieta of UeValencia was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. 38 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for Sorok was J. Michot. UeValencia's T. Fasching left the field after 39 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was K. Abdollahi. 40 minutes into the game, UeValencia seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to passable. 42 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as E. Stridby broke through, making the score 2 - 0 for Sorok. V. Ezernytskiy increased the lead for Sorok to 3 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! The players of Sorok now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. Sorok's counterattacks were lethal to the opposing defence, allowing K. Kostyuk to score easily from the right flank for 4 - 0. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Sorok to 5 - 0 as J. Geels finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. After 44 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as UeValencia found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to inadequate. 5 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Sorok, who controlled the ball 68 percent of the time.

The coach gave his players an extra tactical briefing during the break, and after that UeValencia had solid organisation. UeValencia's defence sent a ball soaring up the middle on a beautiful counterattack with 52 minutes gone, but S. Spriet's finish was met by the reaching hands of the keeper. 65 minutes in, UeValencia's R. Hänninen received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. UeValencia's F. Michoń had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 68 minutes having been played. A. Buciak was the replacement. E. Almeida Batista had a fantastic opportunity to put Sorok up another goal 85 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. After 86 minutes, Sorok sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached V. Ezernytskiy, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 6 - 0. Sorok claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 67 percent.

E. Shirko performed admirably for Sorok. On the other hand, G. Kamenyuka's play was disheartening. UeValencia's best player was A. Buciak. T. Waar turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 6 - 0.
