The following players took the field: Arrighini - Carlsson, Luciano, Audergon, Zahn - Kromann, Abiusi, Vikbom, Nairz - Galiński, Saleh.

Mods1982 tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Mordechai - Reutlinger, Zeno, Selner - Leijonflod, Gensini, Cocetta, Gehringer, Castiglione - Carlacchiani, Pike.

Jeppese clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. Coming in from the right, Jeppese had a good opportunity to convert on a counterattack after 22 minutes, but T. Vikbom's attempt to finish was easily stopped. The referee showed Mods1982's F. Gensini the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Mods1982 had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 30 minutes in when V. Selner came up alone against M. Arrighini who managed a block. The home crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief when D. Pike was unable to put the ball in the net after his show of skill down the left 32 minutes into the match. He was seen beating the pitch in frustration at missing such a good chance to give his team the lead! F. Leijonflod of Mods1982 was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Mods1982's D. Carlacchiani was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 35 minutes. It was 0 - 0 at the break. Mods1982 had most of the ball, with 63 percent of possession.

Jeppese were very close to putting themselves one up after 49 minutes as J. Nairz got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. The guests almost went up by a goal after 53 minutes when V. Cocetta came through and shot from the right. The ball bounced harmlessly off the post, though. D. Pike had a good try after 63 minutes, coming in on a fine move from the left, but the ball went wide. After 64 minutes, the defensive line of Jeppese created a counterattack through the middle that gave M. Galiński a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. Possession in this half belonged to Mods1982, who controlled the ball 61 percent of the time.

Jeppese's top performer was clearly A. Kromann. On the other hand, M. Luciano's play was disheartening. Mods1982's best player was F. Gensini. G. Castiglione turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 0.
