Spectators: 10 (Terracing: 0, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Wiktor Scigan started the match with the kick off. In the 6th minute Wiktor Scigan shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Patrick Armstrong saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Miromir Rydzewski made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Peter Linkhorst in the 10th minute of play. After having played for 10 minutes, Robert Ununger managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. ManagerZone Crew's supporters crossed their fingers, but Robert Ununger was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 12th minute the ball was on its way in behind KoLiber's goalkeeper Miromir Rydzewski, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 17th minute of the match ManagerZone Crew got a corner. KoLiber's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Adrian Våleman ran over to the corner to take the kick. The corner led ManagerZone Crew's Adrian Våleman to fire away a dangerous shot which Miromir Rydzewski despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. KoLiber's Miromir Rydzewski proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 20th minute of the match, managed to save KoLiber from getting a goal against them.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Peter Linkhorst was the one to do the kick off. After a defensive mix-up in ManagerZone Crew's zone, Filip Jandryca stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Patrick Armstrong came out of the goal and Filip Jandryca tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 57th match minute, KoLiber was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Adam Walkowski to maneuver through the defense.

If Filip Jandryca had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 62nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 64 minutes into the match, KoLiber's goal looked a bit too open when Peter Linkhorst came free, but Miromir Rydzewski reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

But to his dismay, Cyprian Cieslak quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-2. The audience was convinced that Thorbjörn Olerius's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Miromir Rydzewski was relentless in the 70th minute of the game. In the 75th minute Adam Walkowski shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Patrick Armstrong saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 79 minutes of play, ManagerZone Crew's Peter Linkhorst made it 3-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Adrian Våleman in the 87th minute of play forced KoLiber's goalkeeper Miromir Rydzewski to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
