For their match strategy, wolf had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. The guests took the lead 3 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in O. Schinca scoring to make it 0 - 1. C. Alchimavičius of wolwes took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 12 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 2. 23 minutes in, wolwes's K. Paulamäki received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. A loud groan was heard from the fans of wolf, as F. Cobo left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. P. Gripenén took his place on the field. After 26 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed W. Czechowicz to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 3. By now, the players in wolwes felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. With 37 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed O. Schinca of wolwes to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 4. After 38 minutes, wolf's J. Jarabran fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! The visitors' O. Schinca took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 42 minutes into the match. 0 - 5 for wolwes. At that, O. Schinca was noted down for a hat trick! Halftime score was 0 - 5. wolwes had most of the ball, with 74 percent of possession.

Some fine movement on the left led to a wolwes goal after 59 minutes, making it 0 - 6. D. Pompili was noted down as the scorer. T. Höglund left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 71 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. R. van der Spiegel was the replacement. Content with how the game was proceeding, the wolwes coach let B. Marie replace D. Pompili after 73 minutes. 75 minutes into the game, M. Ledda had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came E. Yngvesson. With 76 minutes gone, wolwes 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, O. Schinca did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out. M. Vinklárek behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 79 minutes as he gave the ball away to K. Paulamäki. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. A drive down the left side allowed W. Czechowicz to get in close and score another goal for wolwes after 80 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 7. wolwes's C. Stoeber was shown a yellow card after 83 minutes for slicing down an opponent. wolf's E. Yngvesson had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 86 minutes having been played. V. Mulazzani was the replacement. After the ball was lifted in from the left, O. Schinca was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 88 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. wolwes claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 74 percent.

wolf's best player was P. Gripenén. W. Stresow was a disappointment, however. Most important wolwes player was O. Schinca. However, R. Hartmann made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 7.
