For their match strategy, Draculina had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. 8 minutes into the game, A. Inchurandieta was a hair's breadth away from giving Sinverguenzas the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by L. Vintilă saved the home team that time. Sinverguenzas's A. Clemente managed to lose the defenders as he advanced down the right wing and scored, putting the visitors ahead after 9 minutes. 0 - 1. É. Cauvin received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 12 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 2. The Sinverguenzas fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. 29 minutes into the game, Sinverguenzas seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to passable. With 30 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed A. Clemente of Sinverguenzas to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 3. Confident in their lead, Sinverguenzas's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. 0 - 3 was the halftime score. Sinverguenzas had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

A review of the gameplan helped Sinverguenzas get back to a solid organisation when the referee blew his whistle again. U. Nusser wanted to play on, but the Sinverguenzas coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 46 minutes into the game by T. Perälä. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Sinverguenzas coach let O. Alexander replace E. Vidal after 46 minutes. With 47 minutes played, T. Perälä nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. A counterattack by Draculina after 48 minutes could have resulted in a goal, but I. Deaş, coming in on the left, couldn't get the shot off. 50 minutes into the game, Draculina seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a weak level of organisation. 54 minutes into the game, Sinverguenzas had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to passable. After 62 minutes, Sinverguenzas's R. Beja burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 4. Sinverguenzas claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 65 percent.

Draculina's top performer was clearly H. Friebel. N. Măr on the other hand, had a terrible day. Sinverguenzas's best player was O. Alexander. On the other hand, G. Brighetti's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 4.
