Snoopys started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Moore - Yeste, Rekdal, Zarfl - Izzo, Guérin, Fazzoletti, Dillard, Gauthier - Carrozza, Walzik.

5iktas tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Carbajal - Pewal, Olmos Ribas, Rodríguez - Maggiore, Özkul, Kunt, Gavino, Palomino - Teßmer, Pernas.

Snoopys made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left I. Rekdal completely alone with keeper J. Carbajal, who made a spectacular block. Snoopys could have put themselves ahead after 30 minutes but I. Dillard missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. 33 minutes into the game, V. Teßmer almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. 5iktas showed their counterattack skill 37 minutes into the match by breaking through the middle, with V. Teßmer scoring uncontested for 0 - 1. 5iktas's A. Maggiore was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the opposition's box - V. Pernas managed to volley one of them into the net to make it 0 - 2 after 42 minutes. 43 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 3 as V. Pernas finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. Halftime score was 0 - 3. Snoopys enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.

After 59 minutes, 5iktas's V. Pernas burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 4. That made three goals for V. Pernas and he was marked down for the hat trick. By now, the players in 5iktas felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave M. Kunt from 5iktas a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 61 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! The home crowd was not impressed when D. Palomino came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 75 minutes. 5iktas were now up 0 - 5. Snoopys had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

M. Guérin performed admirably for Snoopys. R. Walzik on the other hand, had a terrible day. 5iktas's top performer was clearly V. Teßmer. On the other hand, J. Carbajal's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 5.
