Spectators: 7847 (Terracing: 5887, Seating: 1804, VIP seats: 156) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Spyros Volakis made the kick off which started today's match. After some fancy dribbling in the 2nd minute, Marek Zaoral managed to get in a good position for a shot. Froghino's supporters rose to their feet, but Marek Zaoral was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Vladimiros Kaklamanakos breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Stratos Ververis charged in rather forcefully in the 5th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Stratos Ververis the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 6 played minutes Liverpool F.C.

After a rather tough play, Froghino's Břetislav Úlehla got a free kick in the 35th minute. Liverpool F.C.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Aleš Koutný made a kick off. Stamatis Lallos recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 52nd minute.

After 59 minutes of play, Liverpool F.C. YNWA's Fondas Gaitanos made it 4-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Froghino's Pavel Krob played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Fondas Gaitanos in the 69th minute of play. 71 minutes into the match, Liverpool F.C.
