After some beautiful movement down the left wing, C. Düsi scored for Juniors putting them ahead 1 - 0, after 2 minutes. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Juniors scored another to make it 2 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for J. Mendenau after 12 minutes. B. Pukanych increased the lead for Juniors to 3 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! Juniors's G. Nealon-Meinzolt saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 34 minutes. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Juniors's B. Pfäffli increasing the lead to 4 - 0. By now, the players in Juniors felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. 4 - 0 was the score after the first half. Juniors claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 62 percent.

61 minutes in, Juniors's A. Restainer received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. C. Düsi received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 68 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. Juniors's A. Restainer had an excellent opportunity after 74 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! S. Mangini unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. Coming from the right, J. Mendenau almost managed to score another goal for Juniors, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Juniors, with 64 percent of the ball.

Juniors's best player was B. Pfäffli. G. Nealon-Meinzolt turned in a dismal performance, however. bulldogs's top performer was clearly A. Breinkopfs. On the other hand, E. Saviane's play was disheartening. The match ends 4 - 0.
