The wings were the focus of most of Pool_FC's attacks today. With 18 minutes played T. Ragnarsson almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. Pool_FC were very close to putting themselves one up after 21 minutes as V. Säfborn got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. Given a free kick in a difficult position after 22 minutes, Pool_FC tried a variation that they had practised in training. The kick was sent into the area just in front of the keeper. However, the defence were on their toes and allowed no space for a finish. Pool_FC's M. Ståhlerberg was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 28 minutes. brancos's H. Geers was shown a yellow card after 32 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Pool_FC broke through on the left 34 minutes into the game, with K. Olsson firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. With 36 minutes gone, brancos's H. Geers had to leave the pitch after talking back to the referee and receiving his second booking. L. Hurtado was the new captain of brancos - handed the armband by the departing player. Halftime score was 1 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Pool_FC, with 76 percent of the ball.

The Pool_FC free kick 49 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 J. Toppila, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 2 - 0! Pool_FC's V. Säfborn saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 50 minutes. P. Madrón was called on to replace brancos's R. Grandão after 61 minutes following a nasty collision. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, T. Ragnarsson got himself booked. The manager of Pool_FC was not happy. Pool_FC managed to extend their lead to 3 - 0 when P. Gustafsson cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. The referee showed Pool_FC's P. Gustafsson the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. A loud groan was heard from the fans of brancos, as P. Madrón left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. A. Candeias took his place on the field. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Pool_FC, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. Possession in this half belonged to Pool_FC, who controlled the ball 75 percent of the time.

V. Säfborn performed admirably for Pool_FC. W. Gottborn on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important brancos player was M. Constantino. However, L. Hurtado made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 0.
