28 minutes into the game, Baxters had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to poor. Best_TeamR took the lead 29 minutes in, as C. Baroi broke through on the left and put the 1 - 0 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. Best_TeamR's D. Leonte was shown a yellow card after 32 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Coming from the right, V. Toader almost managed to score another goal for Best_TeamR, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. Best_TeamR solidified their lead at the 41 minute mark, as V. Toader dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 2 - 0. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Best_TeamR lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Halftime score was 2 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Best_TeamR, who controlled the ball 73 percent of the time.

A review of the gameplan helped Baxters get back to a passable organisation when the referee blew his whistle again. The coach of Best_TeamR was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, T. Măciucă came on for V. Toader. After 70 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Baxters found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to inadequate. 71 minutes into the game, Baxters seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a weak level of organisation. After 80 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by C. Baroi might have resulted in another goal for Best_TeamR. However, D. Dosholov made a spectacular save. K. Nisshult should probably have put his team up another goal after 81 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by D. Dosholov kept the visitors in the game. Baxters's B. Küchler got himself booked for a foul. With 87 minutes gone, Best_TeamR had a free kick in a decent position. Despite this being a great chance for a shot, they tried a cheeky move intended to bypass the defence. However, H. Brunsveld did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out. Best_TeamR enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 73 percent of possession.

The most dominating Best_TeamR player was without a doubt T. Măciucă. T. Rumpold was a disappointment, however. Most important Baxters player was S. Di Paola. On the other hand, E. Breetveld's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 0.
