Dark skies made the crowd of 3250 at Naginata Park a little nervous, but the rain held off. Patrik Norrer was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Enrico Vangelisti and Bjarne Malmen.

He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 1 - 0! K. Knudsen wanted to play on, but the Naginata coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 15 minutes into the game by V. Dušenko. With 20 minutes played, Naginata put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to H. Šaćirović, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. The home side's B. Barak came close to extending the lead 22 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but W. Skrzeszowski managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. Naginata solidified their lead at the 27 minute mark, as B. Martinič dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 3 - 0. B. Martinič's speed was clear to see after 28 minutes, as he darted down the wing and released H.

The players of Naginata now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. 29 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as M. Almer broke through, making the score 5 - 0 for Naginata. It was 5 - 0 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Naginata, who controlled the ball 69 percent of the time.

As the game started to slip away for bandytów, the manager decided to change the tactical approach. The bandytów coach was desperate to reverse his team's fortunes in the game, and ordered his team to change strategy. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. B. Martinič squirmed through their central defence after 52 minutes, increasing the lead to 6 - 0. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, A. Szejner got himself booked. The manager of bandytów was not happy. After 75 minutes bandytów's P. Nerlo had to be carried off on a stretcher in agony. M. Błachowiak came in to replace him. After 76 minutes, Naginata's E. Simón found the back of the goal with a beautiful free kick. 7 - 0. Naginata enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 72 percent of possession.

H. Šaćirović performed admirably for Naginata. E. Simón on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important bandytów player was P. Damjan. However, J. Geremek made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 7 - 0.
