Dark skies made the crowd of 3412 at Reaktor a little nervous, but the rain held off. Lorenzo Schlender was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Rui Faustino and Paul Daniel. Raspad had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. The following players had been chosen: Domsheide - Kuritár, Steiner, Bjegović, Trifunović - Živanović, Rakojević, Rajković, Lutovac, Jeremić - Zünd.

Meern tactics involved an interesting 5-4-1 combination. Lineup: Gómez de Mercado - Annink, Oprescu, Overgaard, Nijhof, Grosso - Zwijnenberg, Snoucks, Paalman, Viegas - Mohan.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Meern. A well placed corner kick from R. Zünd was followed by A. Živanović's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for Raspad, the score now 1 - 0. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Raspad's A. Živanović increasing the lead to 2 - 0. J. Kuritár's lack of experience almost gave Meern a goal after 27 minutes, but the shot went right into the keeper's arms. Raspad's D. Lutovac got himself booked for a foul. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. Raspad had most of the ball, with 74 percent of possession.

A counterattack by Meern after 65 minutes could have resulted in a goal, but J. Grosso, coming in on the left, couldn't get the shot off. After 72 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by J. Kuritár might have resulted in another goal for Raspad. However, F. Gómez de Mercado made a spectacular save. With 73 minutes played, Raspad's P. Rajković almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. R. Zünd could have increased the lead after 74 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Raspad, with 74 percent of the ball.

Raspad's best player was R. Zünd. A. Trifunović on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Meern player was without a doubt A. Viegas. On the other hand, B. Overgaard's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 0.
