Hable had a good try after 27 minutes, coming in on a fine move from the left, but the ball went wide. patoufos's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 36 minutes allowed J. Tabua to score for patoufos. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. G. Henriod received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 37 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 2. The patoufos fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. 0 - 2 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to patoufos, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.

Content with how the game was proceeding, the patoufos coach let J. Jaumandreu replace J. Tabua after 55 minutes. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 62 minutes, CHTI52 did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, S. Dor was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 1 - 2. With 65 minutes played, patoufos put themselves up 1 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was M. Torrent. The home crowd was not impressed when J. Deloison came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 67 minutes. patoufos were now up 1 - 4.

Habil who increased patoufos's lead to 2 - 5. patoufos enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 57 percent of possession.
