Azouz managed to tip the ball to a corner. A. Moumin was having a great game - if anything the pouring rain seemed to be spurring him on! klafess had a chance to take the lead after Z. da Silva's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 18 minutes. 19 minutes into the game, A.

Azouz saved the home team that time. klafess took the lead 20 minutes into the game by 1 - 0, as D. Oliveri elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. G. Dubousov, who often relies on his speed, had a rotten day on the drenched grass. S. Kaisenberg acted foolishly after 38 minutes, giving the ball up to klafess's D. Oliveri who had no trouble finding the back of the net. 2 - 0. A bit later, CABizertinos's G. Alipov easily reduced the lead to 2 - 1 after a misunderstanding in the home side's central defence. G. Dubousov of klafess received a yellow card after 42 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Halftime score was 2 - 1. klafess enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 56 percent of possession.

Bensaid saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 66 minutes. A. Camargo knocked one home from a counterattack down the right wing, making the score 2 - 2 after 67 minutes. 68 minutes into the match and the home team took a 3 - 2 lead after breaking through on the left.
