Echo seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. 22 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for Kobi was R. Rubio. After 27 minutes Echo tried to exploit their counterattacking skills, unfortunately, N. Feuz's shot sailed wide after his break down the right. After 35 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and D. Edder gave the Kobi supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0. Echo players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. Halftime score was 2 - 0. Kobi had most of the ball, with 59 percent of possession.

Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Echo, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. The crowd roared its approval when A. Untereiner somehow managed to block a shot which seemed to be a certain goal by Echo's N. Henriksson 47 minutes into the game. Kobi's M. Liechty was shown a yellow card after 65 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Kobi managed to extend their lead to 3 - 0 when R. Rubio cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. By now, the players in Kobi felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Kobi put in a good effort on the right, but N. Ottiger saw his volley fly wide of the mark 81 minutes into the game. D. Edder's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert H. Naumann was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for Kobi. 4 - 0. Kobi enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 57 percent of possession.

The most dominating Kobi player was without a doubt E. Toggenburger. On the other hand, A. Untereiner's play was disheartening. Most important Echo player was C. Kötzting. However, N. Henriksson made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 0.
