TFC_Utd started off with a 4-5-1 lineup. They fielded: Mataki - Rosenø, Hocq, Lehikäinen, Borraz - Yliselä, Grandchamp, Mühlemann, Metsemakers, Lüdtke - Akide.

With 2 minutes played L. Langmack almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. After 9 minutes, G. Ryzhak came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving Huynh the lead. The corner kick from P. Lehikäinen was powerfully met by the head of R. Rosenø to make the score 1 - 1. 1 - 1 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Huynh, with 52 percent of the ball.

After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, J. Yliselä got himself booked. The manager of TFC_Utd was not happy. A free kick aimed at the keeper's far post almost gave TFC_Utd the lead 63 minutes in, but the ball just wasn't able to squirm its way through the defensive wall. 71 minutes into the match, TFC_Utd's B. Akide popped up from nowhere, cheekily stole the ball off an opposition player and scored. 1 - 2. With the crowd on their feet chanting wildly, some great moves down the right hand side after 72 minutes gave Huynh a wonderful opportunity to level the score, and G. Patteri stepped up to the challenge. 2 - 2 With 79 minutes played, I. Mühlemann of TFC_Utd fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. After a fine move down the middle M. Lorenz nearly gave the home side a goal after 80 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. Neither team were able to dominate possession this half.

As neither team had managed to win, extra time was called. With 103 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 3 - 2 lead as I. Mpouloukos flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. Extra time over, Huynh were the victors! Most important Huynh player was I. Mpouloukos. On the other hand, G. Eira's play was disheartening. TFC_Utd's best player was B. Akide. I. Mühlemann turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 2.
