Békéscsaba clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. For their match strategy, FantomFájás had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. Békéscsaba had to make a substitution after 5 minutes. Z. Szekerka limped off the field and was replaced by B. Babos. Many thought G. Fejes ought to have been awarded a penalty 8 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around M. Toledo after a determined run through the middle. 18 minutes into the game, M. Durdas almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. With 21 minutes gone, FantomFájás had a free kick in a decent position. Despite this being a great chance for a shot, they tried a cheeky move intended to bypass the defence. However, H. Kim did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out. It was 0 - 0 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Békéscsaba, with 57 percent of the ball.

FantomFájás's A. Köchel managed to lose the defenders as he advanced down the right wing and scored, putting the visitors ahead after 50 minutes. 0 - 1. B. Juhász left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 65 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. M. Letessier was the replacement. Z. Orbán neatly controlled the ball after a short corner, and knocked it on to L. Palyusik who had the whole net open before him, but only managed to hit the post. G. Fejes showed the skills that make him a real crowd pleaser as he, after 68 minutes, wove through the guests' entire central defence and put the 1 - 1 equaliser away. D. Serafini came close to putting the visiting team one up 72 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but A. Vad managed to tip the ball to a corner. As the 75 minute mark approached, the FantomFájás coach decided it was time for a substitution. E. Muić reluctantly made way for P. Stănescu on the pitch. Coming in from the right, FantomFájás had a good opportunity to convert on a counterattack after 78 minutes, but M. Letessier's attempt to finish was easily stopped. Békéscsaba claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

Most important Békéscsaba player was I. Bikácsy. A. Vad turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating FantomFájás player was without a doubt M. Durdas. On the other hand, M. Toledo's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 1.
