For their match strategy, dpumit had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. dpumit's B. van Osnabrugge was shown a yellow card after 7 minutes for slicing down an opponent. A. Cornoldi was uncomfortable with the soggy pitch as he couldn't move the ball around with his usual grace. H. Erinçer was in the clear after breaking the offside trap following a dpumit counterattack from the left after 29 minutes. His neat finish made the score 1 - 0. After 35 minutes dpumit's J. Smallegange contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. dpumit's A. Trindade increased the lead to 2 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 40 minutes. It was 2 - 0 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to maybas, who controlled the ball 65 percent of the time.

H. Erinçer neatly controlled the ball after a short corner, and knocked it on to T. Berkay who had the whole net open before him, but only managed to hit the post. The referee showed maybas's T. Çokan the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. 56 minutes into the game, maybas seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a passable level of organisation. F. Sinoe made a brilliant save 62 minutes into the match, blocking a rocket of a shot from F. Ionitã on the right hand side. maybas's M. Almeida had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 74 minutes having been played. E. Kocademir was the replacement. 75 minutes in, M. Tonfoni made an incredible run up the middle and nearly reduced the home side's lead, but F. Sinoe refused to let the ball slip by him. 86 minutes into the game, J. Smallegange finished off a dpumit left wing counterattack, making the score 3 - 0. maybas claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 61 percent.

The most dominating dpumit player was without a doubt J. Mir. F. Sinoe turned in a dismal performance, however. T. Fernur performed admirably for maybas. E. Kocademir was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 0.
