The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 575 had shown up at stade OLYMPIQUE MAGIC for the match. Egil Gunnarstein was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Leonard Hausaker and Panithan Kraisomdech. SPT started off with a 4-3-3 lineup. They fielded: Omacini - Cadenas, Landau, Shamir, Cuenca - 伟嘉 (Weijia), Hohermuth, Vermeulen - Fort Aroca, Bourlier, Clément.

MASS decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Dams - Leurent, Rudzītis, Guri - Drouet, Tillmar, Kaftan, Albrechtsen, Bachelard - Valladares, Archambault.

MASS were relying on their ability to counter-attack. MASS took the lead after 6 minutes making the score 0 - 1. J. Archambault placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. After 8 minutes of game time, G. Bachelard had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but D. Omacini was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. MASS came close to extending their lead as J. Archambault delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 11 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. After 17 minutes, MASS's M. Leurent fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! After 20 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for Ó. Valladares who increased MASS's lead to 0 - 2. The home crowd was not impressed when B. Kaftan came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 22 minutes. MASS were now up 0 - 3. Confident in their lead, MASS's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Halftime score was 0 - 3. MASS claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 69 percent.

The visitors' J. Rudzītis took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 48 minutes into the match. 0 - 4 for MASS. Some things can only be learned through experience, and P. Cuenca should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting MASS a goal with 51 minutes of the match played. 56 minutes into the game, MASS were awarded a penalty and G. Bachelard was able to increase the visitors' lead to 0 - 5 rolling the ball in by the right post. Some fine movement on the left led to a MASS goal after 69 minutes, making it 0 - 6. J. Tillmar was noted down as the scorer. 72 minutes into the game, MASS worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. MASS had most of the ball, with 68 percent of possession.

The most dominating SPT player was without a doubt A. Fort Aroca. However, D. Omacini made a disastrous appearance. MASS's best player was Ó. Valladares. M. Leurent on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 6.
