A scorching day at Thermodontas Arena, where 3247 spectators were in place for today's match. Kjell Öhrwald was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Carlo Hail and Andrea Parigi. Amazones decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. They fielded: Díaz - Can, Grafen, Enes - Wedral, Gómez Ulla, Ernisson, Porcellato - Krotwaar, Iancu, Seweryn.

Porto tactics involved an interesting 5-3-2 combination. Lineup: Sousa Amorim - Masoud, Vela, Dubreuil, Joutsenlahti, Kämpe - Galadar, Adib, Gargawi - Flamel, Silvina.

Amazones tried to focus their attacks down the middle. Porto used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. Amazones fans held their breath as Þ. Ernisson scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 1 - 0! With 4 minutes played, the visitors could have drawn level after H. Galadar came through the middle, but his kick went wide. Porto had to make a substitution after 20 minutes. P. Silvina limped off the field and was replaced by O. Chambel. Porto almost scored after a swift counterattack 31 minutes into the game, but O. Chambel put the shot from the left flank just outside the goal. Y. Masoud of Porto received a yellow card after 36 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Amazones were given a gift! The ref dubiously awarded them a penalty 37 minutes into the match, which was neatly put away by A. Grafen. 2 - 0 for the home side. D. Porcellato's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert G. Iancu was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for Amazones. 3 - 0. After this, you could see that the players of Amazones were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 0. Amazones claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 70 percent.

Cheers filled the stadium as K. Seweryn broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 4 - 0 to Amazones. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Amazones's A. Grafen increasing the lead to 5 - 0. Amazones's A. Grafen struck his penalty well enough to beat the goalkeeper and extend the home team's lead to 6 - 0 after 71 minutes. At that, A. Grafen was noted down for a hat trick! Amazones had most of the ball, with 70 percent of possession.

The most dominating Amazones player was without a doubt G. Iancu. T. Can on the other hand, had a terrible day. Porto's best player was O. Chambel. However, I. Sousa Amorim made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 6 - 0.
