In the 22nd minute, Anders Boutrup reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Sérgio Passos. The goal made the score 1-0.

After having played for 29 minutes, Geraldo Aires managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. GD JULIO DINIS's supporters crossed their fingers, but Geraldo Aires was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Geraldo Aires fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 35th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Karl Hermer having to interfere. Geraldo Lopes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 37th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Sérgio Passos was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Bertel Holsgaard showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 2-0 in the 43 minute of play. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-0 at half-time.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Anders Boutrup to strike the kick off in the second half. After a defensive mix-up in FC Nordsjælland's zone, Pascoal Braga stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Karl Hermer came out of the goal and Pascoal Braga tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 59th minute, Valdemar Guerra fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. Sérgio Passos took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bertel Holsgaard, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Valdemar Guerra might have been able to make a better finish in the 65th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Karl Hermer. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Valdemar Guerra ran back to his position shaking his head. When Romeo Pleth came up free with the goalie in the 68th minute, the FC Nordsjælland fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Romeo Pleth couldn't finish the play. Karl Hermer was out of position in the 77 minute of play, and Geraldo Lopes capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Geraldo Lopes really showed his touch with that goal: 2-1. After some careless play in the FC Nordsjælland defense, Geraldo Lopes kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Karl Hermer.

In the 92nd match minute, GD JULIO DINIS was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Norberto Santana to maneuver through the defense. FC Nordsjælland's Pablo Bernhoft got a good chance for a goal in the 93rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. An unexpectedly hard shot by Pablo Bernhoft in the 95th minute of play forced GD JULIO DINIS's goalkeeper Sérgio Passos to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
