After 17 minutes singping's C. Singstad contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. There was concern in the stands when, at the 18 minute mark, Lilywhites's J. Charvolin hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. Lilywhites fans held their breath as P. Mynott scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 1 - 0! The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave A. Carrozzo from singping a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 33 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Given a free kick in a difficult position after 34 minutes, Lilywhites tried a variation that they had practised in training. The kick was sent into the area just in front of the keeper. However, the defence were on their toes and allowed no space for a finish. Lilywhites's P. Mynott swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. 1 - 0 was the halftime score. Lilywhites had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

Lilywhites managed to extend their lead to 2 - 0 when C. Billman cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Lilywhites lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. After 72 minutes Lilywhites's T. Bruppacher had to be carried off on a stretcher in agony. P. Thirlwall came in to replace him. The visitors' right side was dangerous today; R. Foss made the home team's keeper look foolish as he easily reduced the lead to make it 2 - 1 73 minutes into the match. With 77 minutes played, Lilywhites put themselves up 3 - 1 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to J. Charvolin, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. Lilywhites increased the lead as G. Macaluso struck to make the score 4 - 1 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. singping enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.
