scorching day at National Stadium, where 59516 spectators were in place for today's match.

The following players had been chosen: Alley - Strassburger, Magnusson, Ben Mohammed - Rosblom, Preda, Taipale, Kyhlbom, Kerry - Craioveanu, Donát.

Grilled had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Abed-Sulaiman - Tuan-Mu, Bona, Falkbo - van Liere, Han Kok, Rottman, Kek-Tjiang, Spirig - Wai-Kin, Hjortlind.

Grilled immediately set off using their skill at pressing their opponents. It was almost a goal for Hattrick following Jakob Taipale's good header after a corner, it went just over the bar though. With 19 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending. Ulf Hjortlind put the ball away for 0 - 1. At this time in the match, Grilled were using their skill at pressing to successfully put pressure on their opponents. Hattrick's Visarion Craioveanu made a successful breakthrough on the left after 23 minutes and should have levelled the score, but instead he clipped it over the bar. After 27 minutes, Visarion Craioveanu made a dash down the middle past the away team's defenders to score the goal that made it 1 - 1. Dani Spirig of Grilled received a yellow card after 29 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 1. Hattrick claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 52 percent.

One of many good passes from Carl Kerry at the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by Árpád Donát, scoring the 2 - 1 goal for Hattrick. Hattrick put themselves up 3 - 1 when Peter Andreas Strassburger broke through on the right, leaving the entire defensive box behind him. Carl Kerry made a nice rush in the 78 minute, but was eventually stopped by Lan Tuan-Mu. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Hattrick's Visarion Craioveanu putting the lead up to 4 - 1. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. Erik Magnusson squirmed himself through their central defence after 89 minutes, bringing the lead to 5 - 1. A well placed corner kick from Árpád Donát was followed by Visarion Craioveanu's hard but accurate header. The nice combination marked a goal for Hattrick, the score now 6-1. By then Visarion Craioveanu was a three time scorer - a hat trick! After this, Hattrick lowered the tempo in order to concentrate on their defensive efforts. Grilled reduced the score after 90 minutes to 6 - 2 as Ulf Hjortlind easily chipped the ball past the home side's keeper after a dazzling play from the right. After 90 minutes Grilled's Hidde van Liere had to be carried off on a stretcher in agony. Lorenz Paullin came in to replace him. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Hattrick, with an impressive 51 percent possession of the ball.

Hattrick's best player was Eric Alley. Sten Rosblom was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt Ahmed Abed-Sulaiman. Lorenz Paullin was a disappointment, however. The match ends 6 - 2.
