Gate broke through on the left 18 minutes into the game, with
Mattias Eddahl firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Gate scored another to make it 2 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for
Ulf Hergren after 19 minutes.
Torbjörn Norrquist had a fantastic opportunity to put Gate up another goal 20 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. Grilled's
Weng Seng-Huat was shown a yellow card after 29 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Gate solidified their lead at the 37 minute mark, as
Charles Balmer manoeuvered the ball through the opposing central defence and finished for 3 - 0.
Ulf Hergren of Gate was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. It was 3 - 0 at the break. This half belonged to Gate, who controlled the ball 76 percent of the time.
A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased Gate's lead to 4 - 0 as
Torbjörn Norrquist finished it off competently, firing from an acute angle.
Fred Britton of Gate was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle.
Torbjörn Norrquist gave Gate supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 5 - 0 after 74 minutes, following a good exchange of passes on the right that the away team failed to deal with. Confident in their lead, Gate decided to play a more defensive game at this point. The game was close to savage at times, and Grilled's
Weng Seng-Huat received a second yellow card after 79 minutes, his ticket out of the game. Cheers filled the stadium as
Wiebe van den Brekel broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the 6 - 0 goal for Gate. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Gate's
Adamantios Asmeniadis putting the lead up to 7 - 0. A late sliding challenge from Gate's
Fred Britton was deemed to be his second yellow card offence by the referee, resulting in him being sent off. This half belonged to Gate, who controlled the ball 77 percent of the time.
Gate's best player was
Wiebe van den Brekel. However,
Adamantios Asmeniadis made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt
Terkel Borup.
