Many thought A. Orlandini ought to have been awarded a penalty 6 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around R. L'Estrange after a determined run through the middle. After 15 minutes, the yoaverpool coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving L. Poppleton off the field. E. Atias took his place. The coach of yoaverpool wanted to try to change things around after 20 minutes, and gave new tactical instructions. As the 25 minute mark approached, the yoaverpool coach decided it was time for a substitution. A. Halfon reluctantly made way for O. Ilay on the pitch. neoorim's M. Werner was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the opposition's box - Z. Arazi managed to volley one of them into the net to make it 1 - 0 after 31 minutes. E. Entin did not have a good day today, often losing his footing on the muddy pitch. Halftime score was 1 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to neoorim, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.

61 minutes into the match, V. Ferrari bent a free kick around the home team's defensive formation, leaving the keeper with no chance for a save. yoaverpool had levelled the scoreline at 1 - 1. neoorim's Z. Arazi was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 64 minutes. Making his way up the middle 70 minutes into the match, T. Franolić almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert R. L'Estrange blocked it to keep the score level. 76 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a neoorim substitution. C. Frishman came on for Z. Arazi. M. Halinen became the new neoorim captain. J. Leitch would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. O. Korkalainen entered the game for neoorim as the match clock showed 76 minutes. The muddy pitch made the game a gritty affair, which seemed to suit T. Franolić just fine. 79 minutes into the game, T. Petro was a hair's breadth away from giving yoaverpool the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by M. Halinen saved the home team that time. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by neoorim, with 57 percent of the ball.

The most dominating neoorim player was without a doubt T. Franolić. E. Castro was a disappointment, however. yoaverpool's top performer was clearly S. Chatzopoulos. V. Ferrari turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 1.
