They were singing the praises of D. Brülhart 15 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 1 - 0 to Gialloblues. 28 minutes into the game, Gialloblues seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a solid level of organisation. The visitors refused to give in and, after 31 minutes, M. Lagererberg evened things up as he finished off a perfect pass from the right. 1 - 1 P. Di Ciaula caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 39 minutes. This gave Gialloblues the 2 - 1 lead. Gialloblues solidified their lead at the 42 minute mark, as L. Sedda dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 3 - 1. 44 minutes into the game, Gialloblues had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to passable. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Gialloblues's F. Mauri increasing the lead to 4 - 1. 4 - 1 was the score after the first half. Gialloblues enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 57 percent of possession.

During the break, Gialloblues's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to solid organisation. F. Maestra sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from T. Dahlstrøm after 63 minutes of play, making the score 5 - 1. The players of Gialloblues now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. 69 minutes into the game, Gialloblues seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to passable. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave A. Lukk from 6to.Estado a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 74 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! 6to.Estado's right side looked dangerous after 86 minutes, as C. Jiménez broke through. I. Carciofi continued to stifle them, however, as he made the save look easy. Cheers filled the stadium as T. Dahlstrøm broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 6 - 1 to Gialloblues. A. Lukk knew he was in trouble after hacking down an opponent. Despite his pleading with the referee, the 6to.Estado player was shown a second yellow card and dismissed from the game. Possession in this half belonged to Gialloblues, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

Most important Gialloblues player was T. Dahlstrøm. L. Sedda turned in a dismal performance, however. 6to.Estado's top performer was clearly M. Lagererberg. On the other hand, D. Pérez's play was disheartening. The match ends 6 - 1.
