Volvian mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. Volvian's L. Wedborn soared above the crowd, but couldn't knock the corner home 5 minutes into the match. Many thought H. Schuhmacher ought to have been awarded a penalty 11 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around S. Sadri after a determined run through the middle. Förlorarstort's S. Sadri had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 27 minutes having been played. A. Aguilera was the replacement. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to Volvian, who controlled the ball 72 percent of the time.

Volvian had a chance to take the lead after E. Mölsä's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 57 minutes. Volvian took the lead 60 minutes into the game by 1 - 0, as A. Walecko elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. Volvian were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. After 64 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by A. Walecko might have resulted in another goal for Volvian. However, A. Aguilera made a spectacular save. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Volvian, with 73 percent of the ball.

Most important Volvian player was B. Bannink. K. Tarasek turned in a dismal performance, however. M. Deml performed admirably for Förlorarstort. However, F. Cansoy made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 0.
