zabreh decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. Lineup: Risum - Vogel, Lo Bascio, Argüelles, Germanà - Žgela, Wilczek, Besteiro Saiz, Boška - Ondrášek, Palhavã.

Lost(r) mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. With 25 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of zabreh resulted in a counterattack that set C. Besteiro Saiz free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. A questionable penalty 32 minutes in gave the home side the lead, 1 - 0. The visitors' goalie didn't stand a chance as K. Gülru knocked the ball home. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0. Lost(r) enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 76 percent of possession.

54 minutes into the match K. Gülru put Lost(r) ahead 2 - 0 with a truly marvelous free kick. Lost(r) had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. After 65 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by L. Fagot might have resulted in another goal for Lost(r). However, U. Risum made a spectacular save. After 67 minutes, Lost(r)'s R. Pedroni fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Lost(r), as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. H. Goyochea had a fantastic opportunity to put Lost(r) up another goal 69 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. Lost(r) were given a gift! The ref dubiously awarded them a penalty 77 minutes into the match, which was neatly put away by K. Gülru. 3 - 0 for the home side. That made three goals for K. Gülru and he was marked down for the hat trick. 79 minutes in, zabreh's P. Lo Bascio received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. A loud groan was heard from the fans of Lost(r), as R. Kuczborski left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. E. Toppari took his place on the field. Possession in this half belonged to Lost(r), who controlled the ball 75 percent of the time.

G. Abbiati performed admirably for Lost(r). E. Toppari on the other hand, had a terrible day. zabreh's top performer was clearly T. Vogel. U. Risum turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 0.
