The visiting T. Laig was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 7 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. With the crowd on their feet chanting wildly, some great moves down the right hand side after 27 minutes gave pfuscht a wonderful opportunity to level the score, and C. Lufkin stepped up to the challenge. 1 - 1 T. Laig of Athletic was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. It was 1 - 1 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Athletic, with 52 percent of the ball.

One of many good crosses from G. Giacomelli on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by F. Ruppli, who scored for pfuscht. 2 - 1 With 67 minutes played, R. Bächli came in from the right and could have evened the score, but the defenders successfully repelled the attack by Athletic. T. Menges had a fantastic opportunity to put pfuscht up another goal 79 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. This part of the game was a standoff between the teams in terms of possession.

pfuscht's top performer was clearly T. Buchwiser. On the other hand, A. Cand's play was disheartening. The most dominating Athletic player was without a doubt R. Bächli. C. Egg turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 1.
