Soul-Tigers took a creative approach on the field. klippenwixxer mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. Soul-Tigers's M. Landsverk was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 28 minutes. L. Maier of Soul-Tigers received a yellow card after 38 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Soul-Tigers had a chance to take the lead after L. Maier's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 43 minutes. After 44 minutes, klippenwixxer raised their score by one when H. Pire's dangerous low cross was cleverly tucked in at the near post by F. Schorlemer. 0 - 1. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to klippenwixxer, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

The klippenwixxer players could smell victory in the air. J. Landais wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for M. Olgiati after 46 minutes. F. Schorlemer wanted to play on, but the klippenwixxer coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 46 minutes into the game by J. Berthelier. E. Lattanzio didn't pace himself at all, and after a series of daring offensive runs he was too tired to help out in the defensive play. 61 minutes in, and Soul-Tigers were able to score the equalising goal to make it 1 - 1 when G. Fracarossi picked up a pass coming in from the right and chipped it past the away team's keeper. klippenwixxer's M. Olgiati left the field after 61 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was M. Tirone. N. Canegallo gave Soul-Tigers the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 2 - 1 Soul-Tigers increased the lead as D. Schuhmacher struck to make the score 3 - 1 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Confident in their lead, Soul-Tigers's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. The sunny day didn't make things easy for G. Fracarossi who didn't seem his usual powerful self on the pitch. The home team's fans were upset when, after 82 minutes, the visiting Z. Kisielewski broke through the central defence and kicked the ball past the keeper. 3 - 2 was the score. klippenwixxer enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

H. Wiedmann performed admirably for Soul-Tigers. On the other hand, M. van Lente's play was disheartening. klippenwixxer's best player was E. Ciruelo. E. Lattanzio turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 2.
