Stougaard completely alone with keeper M. Bruno, who made a spectacular block. With 25 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as S. Gianfagna flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. A well placed corner kick from A. Maló was followed by C. Fritis's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for Devils1986, the score now 1 - 1. Down the middle came N. Delgado, making a fantastic play that nearly had Devils1986 take the lead after 29 minutes, but J. Pelasol preserved the tie. It might be a while before the fans see Devils1986's P. Cieniuch again, after he had to leave the field in great distress at the 34 minute mark. He was replaced by E. Goldberger. The guests almost went up by a goal after 42 minutes when N. Delgado came through and shot from the right. The ball bounced harmlessly off the post, though. Almost all the way down to the corner flag, fighters's I. Garnier somehow managed to get a perfect pass into the middle, impossible to miss for M. Alves Vieira, who struck for 2 - 1. The home team will be cursing T.

Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Devils1986, with 73 percent of the ball.

S. Raffo came close to putting the visiting team one up 51 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but J. Pelasol managed to tip the ball to a corner. After the game, the most discussed event will probably be the penalty given after 52 minutes that gave the visitors the 2 - 3 lead. Despite the controversy, A. Maló struck home the penalty, as cool as anything. 69 minutes into the game a free kick by A. Maló found its way through the home side's poorly assembled defensive formation, making Devils1986's lead 2 - 4. The visitors' T. Eriksen took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 70 minutes into the match. 2 - 5 for Devils1986. T. Conradt's lack of experience almost gave Devils1986 a goal after 75 minutes, but the shot went right into the keeper's arms.

The most dominating fighters player was without a doubt M. Alves Vieira. J. Pelasol turned in a dismal performance, however. E. Goldberger performed admirably for Devils1986. However, M. Bruno made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 5.
