With 29 minutes played, J. Ulfander came in from the right and could have evened the score, but the defenders successfully repelled the attack by krystotim. Revival's Y. Temizel was shown a yellow card after 33 minutes for slicing down an opponent. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Revival to 2 - 0 as L. Bonnet finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. Confident in their lead, Revival's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Revival's N. Sénard got himself booked for a foul. The home team's fans were upset when, after 43 minutes, the visiting F. Filippucci broke through the central defence and kicked the ball past the keeper. 2 - 1 was the score. Halftime score was 2 - 1. Possession of the ball saw an equal split between the teams during the forty-five minutes.

The krystotim coach was desperate to reverse his team's fortunes in the game, and ordered his team to change strategy. After 61 minutes, the visitors tied it up at 2 - 2 when a fantastic pass from the left was finished off by D. Matias. 65 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a krystotim substitution. W. Appelhof came on for F. Filippucci. krystotim enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 51 percent of possession.
