Munín on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by S. Broemel, who scored for Sevys. 1 - 0 It was a bad day for the usually speedy E. Winnie. The mud seemed to slow him down. With 27 minutes played, L. Lam of Sevys fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. With 29 minutes gone, E. Köpping suddenly found himself completely free on the right wing when a counterattack by Iwwerzwerch caught their opponents by surprise. Only a great save by the opposing keeper prevented him from scoring. It was 1 - 0 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Sevys, who controlled the ball 70 percent of the time.

Sevys's A. Albarellos left the field after 64 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was R. Leclercq. S. Broemel increased Sevys's lead to 2 - 0 with a penalty spot cannonball. The rain made it hard for players like R. Leclercq to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. Iwwerzwerch's D. Balderis was shown a yellow card after 83 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Unfortunately for Sevys, E. Winnie was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. C. Tyler replaced him. Sevys claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 74 percent.

Sevys's top performer was clearly B. Joncas. M. Foster was a disappointment, however. Iwwerzwerch's best player was D. Murtenthaler. G. Fekete on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 0.
