FC Südtirol took the lead in the 7th minute through Stabile. Following a corner, he reacted quickest to a rebound and fired a left-footed shot into the bottom left corner to make it 1-0. Just five minutes later, Odogwu doubled the lead to 2-0 (13th minute) after a vertical pass from Tronchin and a subsequent assist from Casiraghi, firing home with his right foot from inside the box. The score remained 1-0 in favor of the Red and Whites at halftime.

Mr. Possanzini made a complete change to the team for the second half, with the exception of Stivanello. Just two minutes after the restart, it was none other than the Bologna-trained defender who contributed the third goal: he headed home a Pyyhtiä corner to make it 3-0 (47'). In the 54th minute, Vasic sent Mixtur through on the left wing, who then laid the ball off to Merkaj in the center. Merkaj tapped the ball in to make it 4-0. The FCS striker completed his brace in the closing stages, with Mixtur again providing the assist after Lopes had launched a counter-attack (85').

In the final minutes, the Cape Verdean winger made his presence felt once again with two goals: First, he beat the opposing goalkeeper with a precise left-footed shot into the corner (90'), before, just 60 seconds later, he fired the ball into the top corner from close range with a powerful left-footed shot, making it 7-0 (90+1'). Moments later, the referee blew the final whistle on the friendly match in Stange. FC Südtirol had defeated St. Georgen 7-0.
