Jaylos tried to focus their attacks down the middle. willos were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Jaylos could have put themselves ahead after 8 minutes but C. Avenell missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. I. Lövész slipped and slithered in the wet grass. His usual rapid runs were nowhere to be seen today. The referee showed Jaylos's T. Beales the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Jaylos players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. Some great play up the middle by Jaylos led to a chance for I. Lövész to score after 24 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Jaylos, with 59 percent of the ball.

Many thought C. Avenell ought to have been awarded a penalty 55 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around G. Cheatle after a determined run through the middle. willos were able to mount several counterattacks, such as the impressive one after 56 minutes, but W. Clark lofted a free kick over the crossbar. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Jaylos, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. L. Mulligan caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 63 minutes. This gave Jaylos the 1 - 0 lead. Attacking on the wings was the choice for willos, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. Jaylos's G. King was shown a yellow card after 73 minutes for slicing down an opponent. After 75 minutes, Jaylos's C. Avenell fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! It was obvious that willos had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. A corner kick created great disorder in the penalty area with a goal nearly scored by N. Franklin. At last, Jaylos's I. Lövész was able to backheel the ball in. 2 - 0. Jaylos had most of the ball, with 61 percent of possession.

G. King performed admirably for Jaylos. W. Diedrich turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating willos player was without a doubt W. Clark. On the other hand, S. Wtykło's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 0.
