It was an obvious ambition of Inter to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. benja fans held their breath as M. Pijsel scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 1 - 0! The referee showed Inter's B. Plathner the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. A loud groan was heard from the fans of benja, as E. Pothmann left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. N. Battaglini took his place on the field. 1 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by benja, with 63 percent of the ball.

Inter's R. Jaroć was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 55 minutes. 62 minutes into the game E. Ayerra could see that the opposing goalie was out of position and tried an unexpected lob that the keeper just barely reached. The rebound went to A. Hellio who failed to hit the target. The home side's E. Ayerra came close to extending the lead 66 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but J. Pérez managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. With 82 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, N. Battaglini needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. A well-executed free kick by C. Verbrugge after 86 minutes made it 2 - 0 for benja. Inter's D. Caka got himself booked for a foul. A. Hellio wanted to play on, but the benja coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 89 minutes into the game by E. Poiană. P. Lackner was the new captain of benja - handed the armband by the departing player. Possession in this half belonged to benja, who controlled the ball 63 percent of the time.

Most important benja player was S. bin Ramli. On the other hand, E. Poiană's play was disheartening. Inter's top performer was clearly M. Colunga. M. Ottone turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 0.
