Today, jalamba's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. The home side put themselves ahead 1 - 0 after 2 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from F. Schutte, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. G. Sanya of R.Spyder was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. After 22 minutes, P. Pipinakis put R.Spyder ahead 2 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. By now, the players in R.Spyder felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. After 24 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by F. Schutte might have resulted in another goal for R.Spyder. However, L. Fig Nielsen made a spectacular save. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. M. Loyola squirmed through their central defence after 25 minutes, increasing the lead to 3 - 0. 29 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as F. Schutte broke through, making the score 4 - 0 for R.Spyder. 4 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by R.Spyder, with 62 percent of the ball.

With 54 minutes played, D. Moschetto had a fantastic opportunity to reply but his shot flew harmlessly into the side-netting of the goal. R.Spyder solidified their lead at the 60 minute mark, as A. Rothenfelde dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 5 - 0. As M. Rótán had, completely unprovoked, swept the legs out from under an opponent in front of a linesman, the referee gave the jalamba player a red card without batting an eyelid. R.Spyder claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 59 percent.

R.Spyder's top performer was clearly A. Rothenfelde. R. Mikkelsen was a disappointment, however. The most dominating jalamba player was without a doubt M. Ruescas. However, D. Moschetto made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 5 - 0.
