A brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 3903 to buldog Arena. Nuno Fânzeres was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Cristóbal Mancilla and Markos Gaspar. buldog tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. The following players had been chosen: Castellani - Minicozzi, Da maiano - Bazzucchi, Siso, Fiorica, Genestreti, Bejinariu - Pertini, Tumminia, Paulsson.

A 3-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for Las_X. The following players took the field: Bãdoi - Jang, Burek, Marvits - Türkekul, Jakubek, Smith, Le Maux, Dacquin - Schweinkohlen.

buldog seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. The sun seemed to put F. Smith in a great mood, and he showed off his technical skills all match long. 37 minutes into the match, a typically brave header by O. Schweinkohlen from G. Dacquin's cross looped just over the opposing goalkeeper's desperate reach. Goal for Las_X, making the score 0 - 1. The home crowd cheered when, after 38 minutes, H. Jang's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. 39 minutes into the game, Las_X seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to inadequate. C. Jakubek increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 2. 43 minutes into the game, Las_X had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to poor. The referee signalled a penalty 44 minutes into the game following an offence which looked like it was outside the box. F. Smith knocked it home to make the score 0 - 3. 0 - 3 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to Las_X, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

Despite his frustration resulting in the smashing of a few teacups, the coach of Las_X was able to get his message across, and raised Las_X's organisation to passable. Usually a powerful player on the field, G. Fiorica looked kind of pale and tired under the hot sun. 50 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 4 as J. Marvits finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. By now, the players in Las_X felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. After 51 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Las_X found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to inadequate. 57 minutes into the game, Las_X seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a inadequate level of organisation. A corner kick created great disorder in the penalty area with a goal nearly scored by H. Jang. At last, Las_X's G. Dacquin was able to backheel the ball in. 0 - 5. Las_X had most of the ball, with 53 percent of possession.

Most important buldog player was G. Fiorica. M. Paulsson on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Las_X player was without a doubt R. Le Maux. O. Schweinkohlen turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 5.
