0 - 1 was the score with 7 minutes played, after A. Woźniczko cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Puzzo. Humax_LG_Team's V. Grm made a successful breakthrough on the left after 17 minutes and should have levelled the score, but instead he clipped it over the bar. With 18 minutes gone, L. Caldas suddenly found himself completely free on the right wing when a counterattack by Puzzo caught their opponents by surprise. Only a great save by the opposing keeper prevented him from scoring. Humax_LG_Team's K. Yalabuk got himself booked for a foul. 37 minutes in, Humax_LG_Team's S. Fariseu received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Unfortunately for Puzzo, L. Caldas was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. M. Högbrant replaced him. After 40 minutes, J. Marcondes sent the corner kick right to K. Yalabuk who headed it sharply past the keeper. 1 - 1! The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 1. Humax_LG_Team claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 60 percent.

Some great play up the middle by Humax_LG_Team led to a chance for F. Valenzuela Pineda to score after 78 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. The intense heat forced F. Valenzuela Pineda into making some errors because he couldn't seem to keep up with the others. 79 minutes into the game, T. Sborone was a hair's breadth away from giving Puzzo the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by M. Storgaard saved the home team that time. Humax_LG_Team's V. Grm was shown a yellow card after 80 minutes for slicing down an opponent. With 86 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 2 - 1 lead as F. Valenzuela Pineda flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. Possession in this half belonged to Humax_LG_Team, who controlled the ball 64 percent of the time.

K. Bereczki performed admirably for Humax_LG_Team. F. Valenzuela Pineda on the other hand, had a terrible day. Puzzo's top performer was clearly A. Pina. On the other hand, M. Högbrant's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 1.
