Jenssen had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. Lineup: Wylleman - Monterde, Zucchetti, Thibaut, Tavasti - Sackx, Haapio, Graça, Fürsicht - Claquin, Vroninks.

pescara clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Jenssen. pescara had a good opportunity to take the lead as M. Kubín came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of M. Wylleman. Jenssen's defence sent a ball soaring up the middle on a beautiful counterattack with 4 minutes gone, but M. Monterde's finish was met by the reaching hands of the keeper. Some great play up the middle by pescara led to a chance for R. Hjortér to score after 25 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 28 minutes allowed M. Vroninks to score for Jenssen. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. C. Beedie was called on to replace pescara's R. Ciancaleoni after 34 minutes following a nasty collision. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by pescara, with 58 percent of the ball.

Jenssen's F. Zucchetti had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 68 minutes having been played. R. Gaillard was the replacement. After the ball was lifted in from the left, D. Sackx was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 77 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. N. Bremermann showed the skills that make him a real crowd pleaser as he, after 85 minutes, wove through the guests' entire central defence and put the 1 - 1 equaliser away. pescara enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 57 percent of possession.

The most dominating pescara player was without a doubt M. Kubín. On the other hand, C. Beedie's play was disheartening. Jenssen's best player was A. Graça. R. Gaillard was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 1.
