The wings were the focus of most of kackos's attacks today. With 2 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending. A. Weissmann put the ball away for 0 - 1. Pfand came close to extending their lead as F. Thévenaz delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 11 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. With 33 minutes played, kackos's J. Spica found an opening in the visitors' left side defence, but his shot was handled easily by the keeper. Some fine passing in the middle of the pitch, carving open the away defence, should have led to a goal for kackos, but M. Epplin's shot went over the bar. Halftime score was 0 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to kackos, who controlled the ball 53 percent of the time.

Given a free kick close to the byline, kackos tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let F. Lamelo slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 1 - 1, 63 minutes into the game. kackos broke through on the left 69 minutes into the game, with J. Spica firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 2 - 1 lead. kackos claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

kackos's best player was F. Lamelo. P. Salter was a disappointment, however. Most important Pfand player was E. Foto. L. Johansen turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 1.
