R. Olsen of oOblustiOo received a yellow card after 24 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. With 27 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as W.

Wäger got through the home side's central line of defence, rolling in the equaliser to make it 1 - 1. Some great play up the middle by oOblustiOo led to a chance for C. Rombach to score after 38 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. 1 - 1 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by oOblustiOo, with 58 percent of the ball.

oOblustiOo created a good opportunity to score 48 minutes into the match when S. Chvála's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. The crowd gasped as C. Pulver of oOblustiOo was flattened by an opponent after 56 minutes and had to be carried off. T. Trung Tình came in off the bench. A foul after 62 minutes resulted in a free kick. G. Perrot cannonballed it, giving the home team the lead 2 - 1. Republika were close to putting the equaliser away after 65 minutes as the opposing defence lost control of the ball to C. Egartner in a scuffle towards the left of the goal, but in the end the ball was cleared over the dead ball line. 73 minutes in, oOblustiOo's G. Comunian received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The player down was C. Egartner. The Republika bench looked worried for a while, but in the end he managed to get up. Coming through the middle C. Egartner almost scored the equaliser for Republika after 81 minutes, but D. Casimiro made an excellent save, tipping the awkwardly curled shot past the post. oOblustiOo enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 57 percent of possession.

oOblustiOo's best player was C. Rombach. T. Trung Tình was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Republika player was without a doubt C. Egartner. However, K. Salmenranta made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 1.
