050806 used their skill at pressing to cut off the attack angles of their opponents all over the field. Balling were relying on their ability to counter-attack. 050806 made it 1 - 0 as F. Balle Hansen got a touch to the floated corner kick and flicked the ball to H. Sandfeld who whipped a low drive in off the far post. At this time in the match, 050806 were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. 050806 managed to extend their lead to 2 - 0 when H. Benjaminsen cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. E. Olsen could have increased the lead after 25 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. Balling certainly deserved a goal after some stunning play down the left, but B. Hede just wasn't able to finish. Halftime score was 2 - 0. 050806 claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 61 percent.

After 46 minutes, Balling switched M. Rieke with T. Kananen, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. The Balling captaincy was handed to O. Gammelgaard. 050806 had to manage with a reduced squad after 54 minutes, as P. Egebjerg got sent off for a needless foul away from the game's action. Unfortunately for Balling, J. Haaning was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. S. Weber replaced him. The home side's P. Lange curled a free kick home after 61 minutes, putting 050806 ahead 3 - 0. 64 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as H. Sandfeld broke through, making the score 4 - 0 for 050806. Confident in their lead, 050806's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. With 66 minutes gone, 050806 had a free kick in a decent position. Despite this being a great chance for a shot, they tried a cheeky move intended to bypass the defence. However, H. Benjaminsen did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out. With the clock showing 67 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of Balling resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by C. Schwaner in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. B. Hede made a nice dash down the wing after 72 minutes, but was unable to get the cross into the box. A goal kick was awarded. After 73 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by E. Olsen might have resulted in another goal for 050806. However, I. Munoz made a spectacular save. Balling's B. Skovsen was shown a yellow card after 80 minutes for slicing down an opponent. 050806 were forced into a substitution as H. Benjaminsen couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing D. Ó Riáin to come in off the bench. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by 050806, with 54 percent of the ball.

050806's top performer was clearly R. Clausen. W. Folden on the other hand, had a terrible day. Balling's best player was B. Hede. J. Wagener was a disappointment, however. The match ends 4 - 0.
