Midlothian saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Midlothian, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave A. Viapiana from vesuvio a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 17 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! 18 minutes into the game, S. Leppä almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. A. Viapiana knew he was in trouble after hacking down an opponent. Despite his pleading with the referee, the vesuvio player was shown a second yellow card and dismissed from the game. The visiting J. Simensen was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 36 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. A drive down the left side allowed K. Sołtysek to get in close and score another goal for Midlothian after 37 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 2. After 38 minutes, Midlothian's J. Simensen burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 3. 0 - 3 was the score after the first half. Midlothian enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 76 percent of possession.

Some fine movement on the left led to a Midlothian goal after 54 minutes, making it 0 - 4. H. Rothby was noted down as the scorer. After this, you could see that the players of Midlothian were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Midlothian's J. Simensen got himself booked for a foul. The game was close to savage at times, and Midlothian's J. Simensen received a second yellow card after 59 minutes; his ticket out of the game. As the captain was no longer on the pitch, H. Gómez took over the role of being the Midlothian captain. 62 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 5 as E. Zinato finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. vesuvio's G. Licursi was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 65 minutes. With 67 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed K. Sołtysek of Midlothian to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 6. G. Grelloni behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 76 minutes as he gave the ball away to A. Korera. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. Players in Midlothian heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. E. Zinato of Midlothian took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 79 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 7. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Midlothian, with 78 percent of the ball.

The most dominating vesuvio player was without a doubt I. Cubello. G. Licursi turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important Midlothian player was A. Korera. C. Charnay was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 7.
