Domas of Ardines seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 1 - 1 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by É. Boulanger. The crowd gasped as M. Lindgreen of Ardines was flattened by an opponent after 20 minutes and had to be carried off. L. Jonassen came in off the bench. L.

The crowd was silenced 74 minutes into the match as the visiting team's M. Reed came in from the left, levelling the score to 2 - 2. 75 minutes into the game, J. Šoblickas was a hair's breadth away from giving Oier the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by D. Mader saved the home team that time. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 76 minutes allowed P. Pineda to score for Oier. The scoreboard now read 2 - 3. Oier enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 62 percent of possession.

Ardines's top performer was clearly L. Zuccato. On the other hand, C. Bacon's play was disheartening. Most important Oier player was G. Borstell. J. Šoblickas on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 3.
