tree saw most attack opportunities on the wings. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to A.

Preda attacked down the left wing, but I. Niemelä just managed to make a save to keep the ball out of the net. 1 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession was split evenly between the teams.

Lazarevski finished off a well-played combination from the left, easily carving through the defence. tree managed, after 80 minutes, to even the score at 2 - 2 with a lucky free kick by P. Lazarevski. Somehow the ball squirmed its way through the defensive wall! After 84 minutes, tree put themselves up 2 - 3, as L. Vaza finished off a strike from the left with a real cannonball of a shot. tree had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.
