Spectators: 7732 (Terracing: 5800, Seating: 1778, VIP seats: 154) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play.

In the 46th minute, Sören Siggman left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net.

Internazionale-RS may have spent more time on the ball, but SE7EN were more willing to take their chances and they walked away with the win.
