Clouds darkened the skies at Glärnischstrasse 6e as 37527 spectators turned up for the match. Gunnar Rubin was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Bruno de Deus and Morgan Benati. Jokerwebse tactics involved an interesting 5-4-1 combination. Starters: Géant - Răchieru, Mathieu, Endrizzi, Schraut, Daeseleire - Hovde, Dahlflod, Sattrup, Pérez - Hilbers.

Binniger decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Gillhausen - Heinert, van Geenhuizen, Broertjes - Roth, Schömann, Cevza, Baumard, Virgilio - Chiriboga, Vassen.

Pressing was the tactic of the day for Jokerwebse. The wings were the focus of most of Binniger's attacks today. Jokerwebse almost scored after a counterattack 5 minutes into the match, but N. Hovde took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side of the net. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. Binniger claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 52 percent.

As the 65 minute mark approached, the Binniger coach decided it was time for a substitution. C. Virgilio reluctantly made way for S. Filet on the pitch. After 75 minutes, the Jokerwebse coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving Y. Daeseleire off the field. N. Ehnert took his place. With 78 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending. S. Filet put the ball away for 0 - 1. The visitors' S. Schömann took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 82 minutes into the match. 0 - 2 for Binniger. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Binniger, with 55 percent of the ball.

Y. Hilbers performed admirably for Jokerwebse. On the other hand, N. Ehnert's play was disheartening. Binniger's top performer was clearly Y. Cevza. G. Roth turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 2.
