Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of i santi. i santi were very close to putting themselves one up after 38 minutes as O. Rosenthal got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. 42 minutes into the game, M. Kotsios had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide. Electric had a magnificent opportunity after 43 minutes as E. Solberg hit the ball hard from the edge of the penalty box. However, the shot went wide. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. Electric claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

Good work by the i santi defensive line after 48 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found O. Rosenthal alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. The visitors could have taken the lead from a free kick after 57 minutes, if it wasn't for the jaw-dropping save by M. Sollami. A crazy pass by M. Mezzolla towards his own keeper almost caused a goal for i santi, but D. Sağlam didn't get the finish right. 79 minutes into the match, the speedy I. Haidacher easily outpaced M. Tuch, chipped the keeper and made the score 1 - 0. The Electric players listened closely to their manager, as he gave new tactical instructions for the team. Electric had most of the ball, with 53 percent of possession.

i santi's best player was O. Rosenthal. C. Fariña turned in a dismal performance, however. Electric's top performer was clearly M. Kotsios. A. Ferreira on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 0.
