The 1782 spectators at Alberice Crocodiles Cave were in for an afternoon of sunshine. Ernst Hecht was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jirí Nemec and Anselmo Hrabina. Crocodiles started off with a 4-5-1 lineup. They fielded: Menken - Lundqvist, Sastrón, Lægdene, Chirtoacă - Máša, Bassermann, Ayram, Hermann, Poliviou - Miñón.

Liverstood had chosen a strategic 5-5-0 formation. The following players took the field: de Freitas - Holický, Michaud, Done, Chirilă, Vidarte - Soar, Thoenes, Ulusal, Basso, Layseca -.

Crocodiles were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. The wings were the focus of most of Liverstood's attacks today. Liverstood's I. Layseca gave the visitors a 0 - 1 lead after 8 minutes with a superb strike from the right. After 14 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed M. Basso to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 2. A. Vidarte enjoyed the sunshine and demonstrated his stunning technique over and over again. I. Layseca increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 3. Liverstood increased their lead after 36 minutes when M. Chirilă broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 4, much to the home crowd's dismay. After this, you could see that the players of Liverstood were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. With 37 minutes played, Liverstood put themselves up 0 - 5 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was A. Vidarte. 38 minutes in, Crocodiles's W. Bassermann received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Halftime score was 0 - 5. Liverstood claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 72 percent.

With 51 minutes played, Liverstood's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to I. Layseca he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 0 - 6. This third goal completed a hattrick for I. Layseca. W. Bassermann wasn't much help defensively. His energy-consuming forward runs proved quite costly in the oppressive heat. With 65 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed M. Chirilă of Liverstood to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 7. The home crowd was not impressed when C. Soar came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 66 minutes. Liverstood were now up 0 - 8. D. Hermann tried to get a goal back for Crocodiles but despite all his hard work down the right, he just couldn't complete the move. Liverstood bypassed the midfield with their counterattack, leading to a free kick goal by T. Thoenes for 0 - 9. A. Michaud could have put his team up another goal 69 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. A. Michaud of Liverstood received a yellow card after 78 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Liverstood had most of the ball, with 71 percent of possession.

Most important Crocodiles player was C. Máša. C. Ayram was a disappointment, however. I. Layseca performed admirably for Liverstood. W. Done on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 9.
