Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for RaulKaya. B. Simo was having a great game - if anything the pouring rain seemed to be spurring him on! Zürich were great at switching from defence to attack, and after 11 minutes, M. Romero swept through the middle on a counterattack, making the score 0 - 1. J. Lamirault slipped and slithered in the wet grass. His usual rapid runs were nowhere to be seen today. RaulKaya's J. Araníbar made an attempt at equalising 30 minutes into the match, coming in from the right, but the ball hit the post and the defence easily cleared the rebound. After 37 minutes Zürich's B. Gaipo’v contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. 0 - 1 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by RaulKaya, with 61 percent of the ball.

With 46 minutes played, the RaulKaya coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. M. Rupensdorf came on, S. Doret had to leave the fray. RaulKaya needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 46 minutes Á. Csipke made way for V. Raimbault. The bench was restless, and with 46 minutes passed RaulKaya's coach gave Y. Al-Mustafa the opportunity the player had been hoping for. J. Lamirault reluctantly left the field. B. Simo increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 2. With 70 minutes played, J. Syskoplan-Schneider was very close to reducing the score for RaulKaya with a low drive from the left, but a defender stuck his foot out just in the nick of time, blocking the shot to a corner. Zürich's D. Bahromov left the field after 72 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was T. Dwyer. Zürich's B. Gaipo’v was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 80 minutes. RaulKaya had most of the ball, with 61 percent of possession.

Most important RaulKaya player was P. Søreide. On the other hand, E. Oniţă's play was disheartening. Zürich's best player was T. Dwyer. However, I. Nasrabadhi made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 2.
