Spectators: 7478 (Terracing: 5610, Seating: 1719, VIP seats: 149) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Eric Vacker kicked off to start the match. In the 3rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Broom of the System DA13's goalkeeper Ercole Giordano, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Adriano Montaldi scored 0-1 in the 5th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Einar Kellbom, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. A collision led to Ultra Chaos Stockholm getting a freekick after 8 minutes play. Erland Örtendahl hit a great ball. Einar Kellbom showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Augusto Latini in the 9th minute of the match. Einar Kellbom showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Anthony Gazza, who was totally free with the ball in the 11th minute. After a rather tough play, Ultra Chaos Stockholm's Frans Walroth got a free kick in the 11th minute. Einar Kellbom took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Anthony Gazza, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Eric Vacker had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a defensive mix-up in Broom of the System DA13's zone, Erland Örtendahl stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ercole Giordano came out of the goal and Erland Örtendahl tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Eric Vacker struck a weak shot in the 17th minute. Ercole Giordano didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ultra Chaos Stockholm. After 18 played minutes Ultra Chaos Stockholm got a freekick which was hit by Frans Walroth. An unexpectedly hard shot by Anthony Gazza in the 21st minute of play forced Ultra Chaos Stockholm's goalkeeper Einar Kellbom to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Broom of the System DA13 were awarded a corner in the 28th minute after Ultra Chaos Stockholm's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Cesare Aquilino took the corner. It was a well-played corner which Anthony Gazza managed to volley towards the net. Unfortunately, he didn't get a great hit on the ball and it went out into the grandstand. After a defensive mix-up in Ultra Chaos Stockholm's zone, Anthony Gazza stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Einar Kellbom came out of the goal and Anthony Gazza tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Einar Kellbom showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Adriano Montaldi in the 32nd minute of the match. If Eric Vacker had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 34th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Augusto Latini fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 39th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Einar Kellbom having to interfere. 41 minutes into the match, Adriano Montaldi had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Einar Kellbom. Ultra Chaos Stockholm's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Adriano Montaldi was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. After having played for 45 minutes, Bianco Iachini managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Broom of the System DA13's supporters crossed their fingers, but Bianco Iachini was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 46th minute, Adriano Montaldi ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Einar Kellbom was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-3. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-3 lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Adriano Montaldi to make the kick off. Ultra Chaos Stockholm's Eric Vacker got a good chance for a goal in the 55th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Erland Örtendahl recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 57th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Ercole Giordano made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Eric Vacker in the 74th minute of play. Gunnar Tham charged in rather forcefully in the 77th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Gunnar Tham the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Gunnar Tham hit a great freekick 78 minutes into the match. Einar Kellbom took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Adriano Montaldi, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 81 minutes into the game, Anthony Gazza cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-4. Einar Kellbom was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After some careless play in the Ultra Chaos Stockholm defense, Adriano Montaldi kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Einar Kellbom. The Ultra Chaos Stockholm fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Einar Kellbom should have stopped the shot. Erland Örtendahl was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 93 minutes into the match. The supporters of Broom of the System DA13 booed when Ultra Chaos Stockholm was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 94 match minutes in a wonderful position. Erland Örtendahl didn't get a good kick on the ball. 95 minutes into the match, Broom of the System DA13's Cesare Aquilino broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal.
