TAUPE saw most attack opportunities on the wings. The corner kick from Z. Florczyk was powerfully met by the head of D. Otto-Kuestner to make the score 1 - 0. L. Justo hit the corner kick straight to the keeper, but it was mishandled, giving pailles's R. Saillard an easy chance to knock it in for 2 - 0. With 32 minutes played, pailles's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to C. Mayworm he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 3 - 0. pailles's C. Mayworm had an excellent opportunity after 35 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! F. Westerhold enjoyed the sunshine and demonstrated his stunning technique over and over again. 3 - 0 was the score after the first half. pailles enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 64 percent of possession.

L. Justo wanted to play on, but the pailles coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 60 minutes into the game by M. Vuissoz. Content with how the game was proceeding, the pailles coach let E. Polomka replace C. Mayworm after 60 minutes. The home team's fans were not happy with the visitors' F. Dürr's great free kick that resulted in TAUPE reducing the score to 3 - 1. After 64 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by D. Otto-Kuestner might have resulted in another goal for pailles. However, V. Clémenceau made a spectacular save. As P. Cerritelli had, completely unprovoked, swept the legs out from under an opponent in front of a linesman, the referee gave the TAUPE player a red card without batting an eyelid. A great save by keeper V. Clémenceau after 71 minutes kept the visitors in the game after U. Zamperetti struck from the left with a real cannonball. pailles showed their counterattack skill 78 minutes into the match by breaking through the middle, with D. Bruneaux scoring uncontested for 4 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to pailles, who controlled the ball 66 percent of the time.

pailles's top performer was clearly M. Vuissoz. T. Văn Chương on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating TAUPE player was without a doubt T. Martin. V. Clémenceau was a disappointment, however. The match ends 4 - 1.
