The home side put themselves ahead 1 - 0 after 2 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from K. Gülnihal, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. The crowd gasped as 亮. 浅井 (Asai) of Y-united was flattened by an opponent after 9 minutes and had to be carried off. 尚. 吉川 (Yoshikawa) came in off the bench. The home side's L. Matteuzzi curled a free kick home after 12 minutes, putting GLUCK ahead 2 - 0. GLUCK's J. Eller saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 23 minutes. After 25 minutes, M. Canal put GLUCK ahead 3 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. The home side's L. Matteuzzi came close to extending the lead 27 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but 義. 小川 (Ogawa) managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. Halftime score was 3 - 0. GLUCK enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 85 percent of possession.

GLUCK managed to extend their lead to 4 - 0 when L. Matteuzzi cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. The players of GLUCK now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. B. Galle left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 65 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. Z. Jendrzej was the replacement. C. Barral was having a great game - if anything the pouring rain seemed to be spurring him on! Things were going to get worse for the visitors. J. Eller squirmed through their central defence after 75 minutes, increasing the lead to 5 - 0. Z. Jendrzej had a hard time on the waterlogged pitch - his trademark technique was nowhere in sight today. With 81 minutes played, GLUCK put themselves up 6 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to L. Matteuzzi, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. By then L. Matteuzzi had scored three goals - a hat trick! GLUCK solidified their lead at the 83 minute mark, as B. Oreshko dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 7 - 0. GLUCK's M. Canal had an excellent opportunity after 86 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! Possession in this half belonged to GLUCK, who controlled the ball 87 percent of the time.

GLUCK's best player was C. Barral. Y. Kavlakov was a disappointment, however. 成. 北川 (Kitagawa) performed admirably for Y-united. 和. 山内 (Yamanouchi) on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 7 - 0.
