Hanen started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Jensen - Balling, Fedenev, Josefsen, Rask Thomsen - Hotter, Van Der Mynsbrugge, Ćirković, Džidić - Priebe, Eppendorf.

Hanen used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. A. Fedenev was struggling to make the ball dance with his usual trickery and panache, and the opposing players had little trouble shutting him down in these muddy conditions. The muddy pitch made the game a gritty affair, which seemed to suit I. Regős just fine. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. Scooter enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 54 percent of possession.

With 72 minutes played, Hanen's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to D. Eppendorf he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 0 - 1. It was a bad day for the usually speedy B. Beerbach. The mud seemed to slow him down. An amazing free kick flew past the home keeper 86 minutes into the match, putting Hanen ahead 0 - 2. E. Rask Thomsen was the scorer. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Hanen lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. 88 minutes into the game, N. Priebe had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came P. Bros Nielsen. 88 minutes into the match, P. Bros Nielsen came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. Scooter had most of the ball, with 53 percent of possession.

B. Beerbach performed admirably for Scooter. P. Von Eyben was a disappointment, however. Hanen's top performer was clearly A. Fedenev. On the other hand, E. Rask Thomsen's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 2.
