2657 spectators had come to Di@volo-Aren@ this cloudy day. Manuel Haya was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Sacco van Driezum and Valery Mansdorf. All-Star-Game decided to use a 5-3-2 set up. They fielded: Stănciulescu - Tibetský, Gökdemir, Larsen, Gasanov, Urbano - Peres, Dubānis, Ostaszewski - Presta, Linnasaari.

Giovas started off with a 2-5-3 lineup. The following players took the field: Silva Leite - Andrea, Ribeiro - van Dal, Lindwald, Fridmann, Amazonas, Cocaia - Botelho, Neves Dias, Prates.

All-Star-Game clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. B. Ostaszewski gave All-Star-Game the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 The visitors refused to give in and, after 32 minutes, E. Ribeiro evened things up as he finished off a perfect pass from the right. 1 - 1 Many thought M. Gökdemir ought to have been awarded a penalty 35 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around E. Silva Leite after a determined run through the middle. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to Giovas, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

Giovas had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 82 minutes in when F. Amazonas came up alone against V. Stănciulescu who managed a block. 83 minutes in, All-Star-Game's A. Presta received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Giovas enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 63 percent of possession.

Ľ. Tibetský performed admirably for All-Star-Game. On the other hand, H. Peres's play was disheartening. The most dominating Giovas player was without a doubt J. Neves Dias. N. Cocaia on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 1.
