amojito12 started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. Lineup: Dürnagel - Sovetov, Plaizier, Robinson, Amitai - Cruset, Bouix, Hsoumi, Kurrer - Anderander, Schüle.

With 30 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending. L. Plaizier put the ball away for 0 - 1. With the crowd on their feet chanting wildly, some great moves down the right hand side after 31 minutes gave KARTIER a wonderful opportunity to level the score, and M. Vrtík stepped up to the challenge. 1 - 1 A mistake by the home side's central defence after 32 minutes allowed K. Schüle to score for amojito12. The scoreboard now read 1 - 2. KARTIER put pressure on the visitors' central defence 33 minutes into the game, but L. Amor couldn't find an opening. 42 minutes into the match, K. Schüle came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave G. Sovetov from amojito12 a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 43 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! G. Cruset made one of his many fine passes from the wing into the middle 44 minutes into the match. F. Anderander bravely attempted to execute a diving header and the ball was met firmly with his forehead for amojito12. 1 - 3. 1 - 3 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by KARTIER, with 51 percent of the ball.

KARTIER's T. Jonet was shown a yellow card after 66 minutes for slicing down an opponent. KARTIER's M. Vrtík managed a superb strike from the left after 67 minutes that would have left goalkeeper K. Dürnagel without a chance, had it not hit the post. I. Rangelov did everything he could to get one back for his KARTIER, but keeper K. Dürnagel denied him with a spectacular block. The crowd groaned when A. Billaud, having maneuvered his way down the right, fired the ball just wide and missed a great opportunity to reduce the deficit for KARTIER. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, F. Hsoumi would have put amojito12 up another goal 74 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. KARTIER had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

KARTIER's best player was S. Joyce. E. Bloquet was a disappointment, however. Most important amojito12 player was F. Hsoumi. On the other hand, G. Cruset's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 3.
