Today, ibisvalence's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. Dinamo created a good opportunity to score 15 minutes into the match when S. Šajatović's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. R. Bachem was the first to reach the corner kick, but his header was blocked by the keeper. However, ibisvalence's P. Stöglehner managed to get hold of the rebound and tucked the ball into the empty net. 0 - 1 A. Schoenbeck made a superb strike after 39 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors' defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner. With 40 minutes played, I. Larsson of ibisvalence fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. S. Chiodarelli's speed was clear to see after 42 minutes, as he darted down the wing and released A. Schoenbeck who placed the ball into the back of the net to make the score 1 - 1. A free kick aimed at the keeper's far post almost gave ibisvalence the lead 43 minutes in, but the ball just wasn't able to squirm its way through the defensive wall. It was 1 - 1 at the break. Dinamo claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 72 percent.

With 60 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending. G. Casas put the ball away for 1 - 2. ibisvalence caught their opponents out with a clever counterattack down the right wing 80 minutes into the match. E. Manganelli was able to finish off the move - 1 - 3. An accurate cross from E. Manganelli of ibisvalence was met with a wonderful glancing header from G. Casas, hitting the inside base of the post before nestling into the back of the net for 1 - 4. At this point, it was obvious that the players of ibisvalence lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Dinamo had most of the ball, with 69 percent of possession.

Dinamo's top performer was clearly J. Desson. On the other hand, J. Clark's play was disheartening. ibisvalence's best player was C. Saltor. G. Casas turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 4.
