Today, beitar's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. D. Daurer didn't let the weather get him down and made some great moves on the pitch in spite of the rain. It was a bad day for the usually speedy C. Gangulu. The mud seemed to slow him down. H. Haapala had a hard time on the waterlogged pitch - his trademark technique was nowhere in sight today. R. Leprini came close to putting the visiting team one up 37 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but U. Geiger managed to tip the ball to a corner. jhony's V. Krizman was shown a yellow card after 38 minutes for slicing down an opponent. With 41 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as F. Cabral flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. Halftime score was 1 - 0. jhony claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

jhony's D. Daurer got himself booked for a foul. A loud groan was heard from the fans of beitar, as C. Gangulu left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. J. Augusto took his place on the field. beitar had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. With 63 minutes played, V. Pirnay came in from the right and could have evened the score, but the defenders successfully repelled the attack by beitar. Some brilliant football from the visitors' right wing resulted in a levelling of the score as beitar's J. Augusto put the ball in the onion bag after 65 minutes to make it 1 - 1. With the match clock at 66 minutes, jhony modified their style of play a little bit. The coach of jhony wanted to try to change things around after 75 minutes, and gave new tactical instructions.
