19124 punters turned up at LaPatataBollente, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Pericle Lucia was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Dan Lundhner and Tamás Vörös. Tikkio started off with a 4-5-1 lineup. The following players took the field: Veca - bin Salam, Laffitte, Bozoklu, Manerba - Eschacker, Najjar, MacPherson, Lacouture, Kasradze - Cherchi.

Listerine had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Takács - Aukselis, Solheim, Callejon - Öztay, Loos, Pyle, Rédey, Šlais - Bradvica, van Aalen.

After 38 minutes Tikkio's M. bin Salam contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. It was 0 - 0 at the break. Tikkio enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

After 46 minutes, the Listerine coach had a quick word about the tactical set-up and decided to try another approach. After 63 minutes, W. Eschacker came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving Tikkio the lead. After 67 minutes, M. bin Salam put Tikkio ahead 2 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. After this, you could see that the players of Tikkio were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Listerine breathed new life into the game with an opportunity to reduce the score after 80 minutes, but the home side's defenders cleared the ball on the line, after a long shot coming in from the left rebounded off the crossbar. Neither team were able to dominate possession this half.

Tikkio's top performer was clearly G. Manerba. B. Kasradze was a disappointment, however. Most important Listerine player was R. Loos. However, C. Öztay made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 0.
