ather conditions were fairly good for football, and Winning Eleven Arena saw a crowd turnout of 91000. Ola Söderström was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Dewey Peate and Arturo Favalli. Winning tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Pinchetti - Mönkhof, Håkansson, Kolozsvári - Grunder, Nederwald, Jacobsson, Klintskog, Bäckquist - Kai-Chung, Avramidis.

Grilled tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Harlow - Alcántara, Bona, Falkbo - van Liere, Rottman, Han Kok, Kek-Tjiang, Paullin - Langeland, Martinsson.

Winning mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. Grilled immediately set off using their skill at pressing their opponents. After 3 minutes, Grilled's Hidde van Liere made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. Jan Langeland of Grilled received a yellow card after 5 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. At this time in the match, Grilled were using their skill at pressing to successfully put pressure on their opponents. In a rapid move 23 minutes into the match, Lorenz Paullin of Grilled lost his man, passed the ball to the unmarked Ola Martinsson who easily hit it home for the 0-2 goal. Jan Langeland of Grilled got sent off for kicking the ball after the whistle, a completely uncalled for move, earning him his second yellow card of the game. Grilled's Jörgen Falkbo made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 31 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender sprang up, clearing the ball on the line. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 2. Winning held the ball, with a clear 55 percent of possession.

The home crowd were delighted when Nikos Avramidis scored with a header after an attack from the right, making the score 1 to 2. But did he use his hand? That'll be one for the pundits to talk about after the game, that's for sure! Zang Kai-Chung made a superb strike after 72 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors' defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner. Nikos Avramidis pulled a real crowd pleaser as he, after 81 minutes, wove through the guests' entire central defence and put the 2 - 2 equaliser away. Winning held the ball, with a clear 55 percent of possession.

The most dominating Winning player was without a doubt Tom Pinchetti. However, Kim Bäckquist made a disastrous appearance. Most important Grilled player was Shen Kek-Tjiang. Luis Alcántara was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 2.
