One of many good crosses from C. Salvatici on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by G. Neveda, who scored for Midwichské. 2 - 0 Vypáfnutý's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. Midwichské's A. Correia Pires swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. The referee showed Midwichské's E. Bellamy the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Unfortunately for Vypáfnutý, E. Cals was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. S. Hietaniemi replaced him. The pressing tactics used by Vypáfnutý were successful as the ball remained close to the half way line at all times. It was 2 - 0 at the break. Possession of the ball saw an equal split between the teams during the forty-five minutes.
