2381 spectators had found their way to El cau, despite the heavy rain. Rogier Spindler was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Bernardino Arenas and Karsten Grochla. Sagetes decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. The following players had been chosen: Kaiser - Kotipelto, Mägi, Schrier, Magliacane - Olivares, Gemănaru, Stantz, Gawai, Cuartas - Zurita.

Clever_und_Smart started off with a 5-3-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Peklo - Brzózka, Ilić, Lavigne, Pullin, Grengg - Simmert, Hervé, Sapieha - Yordam, Roschmann.

For their match strategy, Clever_und_Smart had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. G. Gemănaru of Sagetes seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 1 - 0 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by S. Mägi. Clever_und_Smart's M. Ilić got himself booked for a foul. An equalising goal seemed certain after 13 minutes when F. Simmert attacked down the left wing, but Y. Kaiser just managed to make a save to keep the ball out of the net. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. O. Olivares squirmed through their central defence after 32 minutes, increasing the lead to 2 - 0. The game was characterised by rough play and many physical challenges on the wet field, but J. Pullin showed great heart and had a good game. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Sagetes scored another to make it 3 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for K. Kotipelto after 36 minutes. After this, you could see that the players of Sagetes were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave M. Cuartas from Sagetes a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 38 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 0. Sagetes enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 68 percent of possession.

F. Roschmann was first to reach a ball launched long through the center from Clever_und_Smart's defence 83 minutes into the game. He managed to keep his cool and beat the goalkeeper to make the score 3 - 1. With 86 minutes played, Sagetes put themselves up 4 - 1 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to S. Zurita, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. With 88 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of Clever_und_Smart resulted in a counterattack that set M. Hervé free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. The cannonball from 35 metres by M. Hervé of Clever_und_Smart was an impressive sight, but didn't make it into the net. M. Ilić knew he was in trouble after hacking down an opponent. Despite his pleading with the referee, the Clever_und_Smart player was shown a second yellow card and dismissed from the game. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Sagetes, with 70 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Sagetes player was without a doubt S. Zurita. However, G. Magliacane made a disastrous appearance. K. Yordam performed admirably for Clever_und_Smart. M. Peklo turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 4 - 1.
