HKS seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Dekadenci tried to focus their attacks down the middle. The rain made it hard for players like F. Nabergoj to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. The guests almost went up by a goal after 7 minutes when P. Évrard came through and shot from the right. The ball bounced harmlessly off the post, though. N. Caycedo of Dekadenci received a yellow card after 11 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. 21 minutes into the game, P. Évrard almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. HKS took the lead 40 minutes into the game by 1 - 0, as V. Smed elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. Dekadenci's F. Nabergoj was shown a yellow card after 42 minutes for slicing down an opponent. P. Alongi came close to levelling the score 42 minutes into the game, as he was set up with a through ball coming in from the left, but his shot hit the post. Y. Maratos was having a great game - if anything the pouring rain seemed to be spurring him on! HKS's K. Malczewski left the field after 44 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was P. Moura. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0. Dekadenci had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

P. Leb levelled the score for Dekadenci, making it 1 - 1 on a free kick that went in by way of the right post. As the 70 minute mark approached, the Dekadenci coach decided it was time for a substitution. D. Séguin reluctantly made way for S. Dijkman on the pitch. HKS took the lead 77 minutes in, as B. Górnikowski broke through on the left and put the 2 - 1 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. Dekadenci claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

Most important HKS player was J. Valenzuela. On the other hand, P. Moura's play was disheartening. Dekadenci's best player was S. Gefen. P. Alongi turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 1.
