p.s.garnier were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Today, butchers's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. Y. Hintermeister had a good opportunity to give butchers the lead as he charged down the right and struck the ball towards the top corner, but the home team's goalkeeper made the save. After 13 minutes p.s.garnier tried to exploit their counterattacking skills, unfortunately, B. Jeanne's shot sailed wide after his break down the right. 20 minutes in, p.s.garnier's C. Lira received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. A late sliding challenge from C. Lira was deemed to be his second yellow card offence by the referee, resulting in him being sent off, and p.s.garnier left a man down. As the captain was no longer on the pitch, F. Raaz took over the role of being the p.s.garnier captain. p.s.garnier had a chance to take the lead after F. Raaz's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 30 minutes. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. p.s.garnier had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

Making his way up the middle 50 minutes into the match, A. Vieville almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert P. Stuglik blocked it to keep the score level. p.s.garnier had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. H. Nikunen stunned the crowd with a brilliant counterattack from the left, giving butchers the goal to make it 0 - 1. Content with how the game was proceeding, the butchers coach let M. Rediger replace B. Zavřel after 69 minutes. J. Samaille wanted to play on, but the butchers coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 70 minutes into the game by A. Cáceres. p.s.garnier 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. The rain made it hard for players like N. Michaux to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. p.s.garnier were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. No matter how hard he tried, S. Parsy just couldn't get his shot past the visitors' right side defence after 82 minutes. Possession in this half belonged to p.s.garnier, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

p.s.garnier's best player was F. Raaz. I. Hadžisehić on the other hand, had a terrible day. Y. Hintermeister performed admirably for butchers. N. Michaux was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 1.
