19 minutes into the game, S. Geels was a hair's breadth away from giving seixo the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by N. Božović saved the home team that time. berlinc's L. Sierra Morales refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 24 minutes. seixo's S. Munhós was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 34 minutes. 36 minutes in, berlinc's R. Klok received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. It was 0 - 0 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by seixo, with 56 percent of the ball.

The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave I. Someda from seixo a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 55 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! A loud groan was heard from the fans of berlinc, as O. Ibn-Akram left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. O. Schlienz took his place on the field. 78 minutes into the game, I. Someda had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide. J. Barrera Rodríguez was called on to replace berlinc's M. Güzir after 79 minutes following a nasty collision. Possession in this half belonged to seixo, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

Most important berlinc player was E. Bamberger. On the other hand, A. Varela's play was disheartening. The most dominating seixo player was without a doubt S. Fazeev. O. Uçma was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 0.
