Halftime score was 1 - 1. A.S.MAGICA enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 51 percent of possession.

A.S.MAGICA's T. Colaiuta tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 53 minutes into the match, and D. Dungern wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 1 - 2 for the visitors. Y. Stomphorst of A.S.MAGICA received a yellow card after 57 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. S.S.Cuneo's F. de Gooijer was shown a yellow card after 74 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Possession in this half belonged to A.S.MAGICA, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

Most important A.S.MAGICA player was J. Duro. On the other hand, A. Fracassi's play was disheartening. D. Dungern performed admirably for S.S.Cuneo. F. de Gooijer turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 2.
