Debeli clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. AFC showed off their creative tactics. Debeli had a good opportunity to take the lead as M. Schulmeister came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of N. Dunavölgyi. 13 minutes into the game, M. Francey almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. AFC took the lead 17 minutes into the game, making the score 0 - 1 after some elegant movement down the middle. N. Knez was the scorer. E. Grilli got a fingertip on L. Rustad's shot from the left 32 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. Debeli's F. Piña almost tied things up with 33 minutes played after breaking through on the right, but his shot deflected off the post. M. Schulmeister of Debeli received a yellow card after 38 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Halftime score was 0 - 1. AFC enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 61 percent of possession.

54 minutes into the match, B. Ucur came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. With 67 minutes played, R. Kurth nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. The visitors added to their lead 70 minutes into the game, after a sensational penalty kick by AFC's P. Solmaz slid just past the home keeper. 0 - 2. The players of AFC now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. V. Sótyi wanted to play on, but the AFC coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 73 minutes into the game by P. Fałdziński. The counterattack by Debeli resulted in a free kick that A. Kelenc bent under the crossbar - 1 - 2! The coach of AFC was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 80 minutes, P. Bozhilov came on for M. Francey. AFC claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.

The most dominating Debeli player was without a doubt H. Kangaskokko. On the other hand, F. Piña's play was disheartening. AFC's best player was G. Sharafutdinov. However, N. Dunavölgyi made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 2.
