Bravas clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. Down the middle came B. Babin, making a fantastic play that nearly had icarus take the lead after 2 minutes, but S. Skolmen preserved the tie. Coming in from the right, Bravas had a good opportunity to convert on a counterattack after 11 minutes, but C. Madrid's attempt to finish was easily stopped. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 21 minutes into the match, and F. Cappello wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. With 27 minutes played, icarus's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to K. van Mesdag he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 0 - 2. Bravas's F. Paredes got himself booked for a foul. icarus had a great opportunity to score following a counterattack after 39 minutes, but F. Cappello's shot from the left sailed high over the bar. Halftime score was 0 - 2. icarus claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 59 percent.

B. Babin increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 3. With 65 minutes played, the Bravas coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. R. Manzanares came on, G. Matas had to leave the fray. F. Cappello wanted to play on, but the icarus coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 70 minutes into the game by J. Garnica. Bravas's C. Madrid was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 74 minutes. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Bravas's S. Skolmen was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 80 minutes. C. Flores Negrete was given a chance to change things around. The Bravas coach was desperate to reverse his team's fortunes in the game, and ordered his team to change strategy. I. Appelgren of icarus took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 82 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 4. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, B. Żukowski got himself booked. The manager of Bravas was not happy. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by icarus, with 63 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Bravas player was without a doubt S. Pohlak. N. Panayotov on the other hand, had a terrible day. K. van Mesdag performed admirably for icarus. On the other hand, J. Garnica's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 4.
