The muddy pitch made the game a gritty affair, which seemed to suit B. Le Paih just fine. After 29 minutes, chel30's J. Boswinkel made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. With the crowd on their feet chanting wildly, some great moves down the right hand side after 30 minutes gave Perspolis_B a wonderful opportunity to level the score, and A. Carvalho stepped up to the challenge. 1 - 1 Perspolis_B broke through on the left 33 minutes into the game, with L. Enciso firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 2 - 1 lead. Halftime score was 2 - 1. chel30 claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

The bench was restless, and with 60 minutes passed chel30's coach gave E. Peta the opportunity the player had been hoping for. S. Shearman reluctantly left the field. As the game started to slip away for chel30, the manager decided to change the tactical approach. After 65 minutes, chel30 switched J. Boswinkel with R. González, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. The visitors refused to give in and, after 71 minutes, R. Brandkvist evened things up as he finished off a perfect pass from the right. 2 - 2 The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of chel30's R. González after 73 minutes.
