Fortunately, the opponents have not led a Diamond which could have up to 3 losers in it. If in your haste you play trumps the opponents will get in and they might switch to Diamonds. So the first thing you need to do is dump a Diamond loser on the second round of Heart.

At this point you still cannot touch trumps as you need your trump in the dummy to ruff the third round of clubs. You now take the club finesse which is successful and  then ruff a Spade, Now and only now can you broach trumps.

You will amass 5 trumps, 2 Hearts, 2 Clubs and  1 Club ruff for an excellent match point score..
