Berex were relying on their ability to counter-attack. 15 minutes into the game, Berex had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to passable.

Berex had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

The coach gave his players an extra tactical briefing during the break, and after that Berex had passable organisation. Despite his frustration resulting in the smashing of a few teacups, the coach of comines was able to get his message across, and raised comines's organisation to solid. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, comines's L. Reutlinger was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 46 minutes. J. Ricou was given a chance to change things around. comines needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 46 minutes R. Da Silva made way for B. Haggui. The bench was restless, and with 46 minutes passed comines's coach gave C. Bernard the opportunity the player had been hoping for. S. Lebreton reluctantly left the field. V. Sole left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 46 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. J. Calasanz was the replacement. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Berex scored another to make it 2 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for A. Ventrosa after 47 minutes. An awe-inspiring free kick by O. Fruitier of comines resulted in a goal 52 minutes into the game! 2 - 1 was the new score. Berex's A. Jorge saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 57 minutes. 66 minutes in, Berex appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only weak. 71 minutes into the game, comines seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to inadequate. A. Ventrosa neatly controlled the ball after a short corner, and knocked it on to E. Villahoz who had the whole net open before him, but only managed to hit the post. J. Claravall still has a lot to learn. For instance, he should know not to make half-hearted passes in front of O. Fruitier, who easily scored for comines, making it 2 - 2. After 85 minutes, A. Jorge came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 3 - 2, giving Berex the lead.

Most important Berex player was A. Jorge. R. Meinius on the other hand, had a terrible day. comines's best player was B. Haggui. On the other hand, S. Pektan's play was disheartening. The match ends 3 - 2.
