esekuiko decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. The following players took the field: Stoiński - Talik, Moya Delgado, García - Torrubiano, Cancelli, Alyabiev, Bobenstetter - Heide, Dyrgren, Sélosse.

Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Vučinić. D. Rukavička's lack of experience almost gave esekuiko a goal after 8 minutes, but the shot went right into the keeper's arms. Down the middle came S. Dyrgren, making a fantastic play that nearly had esekuiko take the lead after 24 minutes, but N. Lüthje preserved the tie. Vučinić mounted an inspired counterattack down the right wing after 25 minutes, but J. Moureaux was unable to convert from short range. S. Heide had a good opportunity to give esekuiko the lead as he charged down the right and struck the ball towards the top corner, but the home team's goalkeeper made the save. Vučinić bypassed the midfield with their counterattack, leading to a free kick goal by V. Chanel for 1 - 0. After 40 minutes, esekuiko raised their score by one when P. Bobenstetter's dangerous low cross was cleverly tucked in at the near post by F. Sélosse. 1 - 1. 1 - 1 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by esekuiko, with 54 percent of the ball.

Vučinić had a good opportunity to take the lead as T. Markscheffel came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of S. Stoiński. The referee showed esekuiko's F. Sélosse the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. 64 minutes into the game, Vučinić seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a inadequate level of organisation. With 76 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending. K. Talik put the ball away for 1 - 2. A drive down the left side allowed F. Sélosse to get in close and score another goal for esekuiko after 77 minutes, taking the score to 1 - 3. esekuiko enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 59 percent of possession.

The most dominating Vučinić player was without a doubt L. Barić. L. Ratković on the other hand, had a terrible day. A. García performed admirably for esekuiko. On the other hand, S. Stoiński's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 3.
