TARTIFLETTE tried to focus their attacks down the middle. Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Bayern. TARTIFLETTE were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. The referee showed TARTIFLETTE's C. Orozco the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Bayern's J. Estelrich managed to lose the defenders as he advanced down the right wing and scored, putting the visitors ahead after 25 minutes. 0 - 1. A. Cogne made a superb strike after 29 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors' defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner. With 30 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of Bayern resulted in a counterattack that set I. Mansueti free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. TARTIFLETTE's A. Cogne was shown a yellow card after 31 minutes for slicing down an opponent. The muddy pitch made the game a gritty affair, which seemed to suit C. Orozco just fine. Some fine passing in the middle of the pitch, carving open the away defence, should have led to a goal for TARTIFLETTE, but J. Rendu's shot went over the bar. 40 minutes in, Bayern's D. Hurkmans received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. After 41 minutes Bayern's J. Estelrich contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. Bayern's I. Mansueti had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 42 minutes having been played. K. Evanics was the replacement. M. Stilo was handed the Bayern captain's armband. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by TARTIFLETTE, with 61 percent of the ball.

The rain made it hard for players like G. Plaire to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. After 80 minutes, A. Cogne made a dash down the middle past the away team's defenders to score the goal that made it 1 - 1. TARTIFLETTE's G. Plaire got himself booked for a foul. Bayern were forced into a substitution as A. Verkulevičius couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing W. Beuker to come in off the bench. Bayern's goal to make the score 1 - 2 came via a questionable penalty, but D. Hurkmans struck it home without a second thought. G. Plaire showed the skills that make him a real crowd pleaser as he, after 88 minutes, wove through the guests' entire central defence and put the 2 - 2 equaliser away. F. Pérez-Serrano would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. A. Ruiz entered the game for Bayern as the match clock showed 89 minutes. Possession in this half belonged to TARTIFLETTE, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.

The most dominating TARTIFLETTE player was without a doubt U. Stehle. On the other hand, G. Pacary's play was disheartening. Most important Bayern player was L. Pacher. A. Ruiz on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 2.
