bouilland saw most attack opportunities on the wings. METALLICAEN clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. METALLICAEN made it 0 - 1 as A. Vázquez Villarreal got a touch to the floated corner kick and flicked the ball to I. Râşnoveanu who whipped a low drive in off the far post. With 30 minutes played, bouilland's B. Gassamene found an opening in the visitors' left side defence, but his shot was handled easily by the keeper. bouilland tried to even things up by sending a long ball towards the centrally placed strikers, but the visitors' defence got the best of this rather direct style of play. 37 minutes in, METALLICAEN's A. Sepin received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, K. Patsatzis would have put METALLICAEN up another goal 39 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. bouilland's Å. Östflod almost tied things up with 42 minutes played after breaking through on the right, but his shot deflected off the post. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to bouilland, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.

After 46 minutes, bouilland switched A. Coltri with J. Osca, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. In a well-rehearsed move, bouilland delivered a free kick into the box which S. van Blerk, soaring majestically above the defence, rose to head home to make the score 1 - 1. METALLICAEN's K. Hanák was shown a yellow card after 78 minutes for slicing down an opponent. 82 minutes were showing on the scoreboard when METALLICAEN's A. Sepin received his second yellow card and was sent off. 83 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for bouilland to take the lead after a good cross from the right found R. Vesnić alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. Coming in from the right, METALLICAEN had a good opportunity to convert on a counterattack after 84 minutes, but V. Pelaić's attempt to finish was easily stopped. METALLICAEN's V. Pelaić could have put the guests one up after 85 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but J. Bianchi was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. With 87 minutes played R. Vesnić almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. Good work by the METALLICAEN defensive line after 88 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found V. Pelaić alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. 88 minutes into the game, M. Pirttimäki had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came B. Stahlhuber. bouilland claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 59 percent.

T. Garay performed admirably for bouilland. On the other hand, B. Stahlhuber's play was disheartening. METALLICAEN's best player was V. Pelaić. V. Csopaki turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 1.
