Clear skies welcomed the 1328 spectators who had made their way to Paolo Mazza. Alessandro Sabia was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Giuseppe Rigucci and Sven Okkels. A 4-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for VECCHIO. Lineup: Rizzuto - De Gennaro, Sanjuán, Gramstad, Lissau - Kügler, Dali, Oskarsson, Boekweg, Buylov - Ablett.

Mofense started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Hondecoeter - Berlín, Nagar, Koning - Cian, Girodon, Poppen, Lage, Avian - Roibal, Øyen.

VECCHIO focused on getting players in position for long range shots. 0 - 1 was the score with 3 minutes played, after C. Øyen cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Mofense. After 11 minutes, Mofense's J. Berlín burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. After this, you could see that the players of Mofense were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Mofense came close to extending their lead as L. Roibal delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 26 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. VECCHIO's defence sent a ball soaring up the middle on a beautiful counterattack with 27 minutes gone, but O. Oskarsson's finish was met by the reaching hands of the keeper. L. Roibal received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 29 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 3. The Mofense fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. The home crowd was not impressed when L. Roibal came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 30 minutes. Mofense were now up 0 - 4. It was 0 - 4 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Mofense, with 61 percent of the ball.

After 46 minutes, VECCHIO switched L. Ablett with V. Rotondo, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. With 47 minutes played, Mofense put themselves up 0 - 5 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was C. Øyen. After 48 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as VECCHIO found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to passable. VECCHIO made it 1 - 5 as G. Gramstad got a touch to the floated corner kick and flicked the ball to M. Kügler who whipped a low drive in off the far post. VECCHIO needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 75 minutes M. Dali made way for S. Meilink. The bench was restless, and with 75 minutes passed VECCHIO's coach gave D. Weitzer the opportunity the player had been hoping for. O. Oskarsson reluctantly left the field. Mofense's E. Nagar got himself booked for a foul. Mofense's P. Avian made use of his speed to get free of the defence, but he still couldn't get a shot off 78 minutes into the match. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from E. Nagar after 80 minutes, and prevented Mofense from going up another goal. Mofense had most of the ball, with 59 percent of possession.

Most important VECCHIO player was V. Rotondo. B. Lissau was a disappointment, however. Mofense's best player was C. Øyen. On the other hand, L. Hondecoeter's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 5.
