Bolgher clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. They were singing the praises of E. Marasek 2 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 1 - 0 to Bolgher. Bolgher's V. Šípek increased the lead to 2 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 37 minutes. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, P. Kärppälä got himself booked. The manager of brighel was not happy. M. Cerna behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 40 minutes as he gave the ball away to T. From. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. The visitors replied 41 minutes into the game, reducing the home side's lead to 2 - 1, as P. Mastropasqua dashed up the middle, easily lobbing the ball over the home team's keeper. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Bolgher's G. Petralia increasing the lead to 3 - 1. A. Zagaia of brighel was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Bolgher's S. Pollicino increasing the lead to 4 - 1. 4 - 1 was the score after the first half.

brighel nearly produced a goal as P. Kärppälä set up J. Matute Robres for a strike from a seemingly impossible angle. However he put the shot narrowly wide. A great save by keeper T. Santos after 51 minutes kept the visitors in the game after S. Pollicino struck from the left with a real cannonball. The home side's E. Marasek came close to extending the lead 52 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but T. Santos managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. A. Schlüchtern's curling free kick almost found the goal for Bolgher, but the visitors' keeper somehow managed to get ahold of it. Bolgher's S. Pollicino increased the lead to 5 - 1, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 68 minutes. The players of Bolgher now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. Cheers filled the stadium as S. Pollicino broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 6 - 1 to Bolgher. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for S. Pollicino. Possession in this half belonged to Bolgher, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

Bolgher's top performer was clearly E. Marasek. G. Goller was a disappointment, however. brighel's top performer was clearly B. Löffelmann. A. Soderi turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 6 - 1.
