For their match strategy, Fokers utd had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. FCF used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. 10 minutes into the game, FCF seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a inadequate level of organisation. FCF had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 25 minutes in when H. Rente came up alone against B. Lefèvre who managed a block. 28 minutes into the match, FCF nearly took the lead, as K. Joza broke through on the right. B. Lefèvre made the save, however. With their counter attack move halted 29 minutes into the game, Fokers utd were left with a free kick. The ball is passed straight through to the other end of the penalty area, with hopes for it to reach C. Mcgregor. However, he didn't have his wits about him and the ball went out. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by FCF, with 67 percent of the ball.

A review of the gameplan helped FCF get back to a solid organisation when the referee blew his whistle again. B. Lefèvre would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. G. Rosato entered the game for Fokers utd as the match clock showed 46 minutes. After 47 minutes, the FCF coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving J. Tamés off the field. J. Frey took his place. As the 52 minute mark approached, the FCF coach decided it was time for a substitution. H. Rente reluctantly made way for M. Hradský on the pitch. 52 minutes into the game, FCF wanted to bring some new energy to their game. L. Menaballi gave A. Marques a quick hug as he left the field. Down the middle came V. Moura Rodrigues, making a fantastic play that nearly had FCF take the lead after 52 minutes, but G. Rosato preserved the tie. FCF took the lead 53 minutes into the game, making the score 0 - 1 after some elegant movement down the middle. F. Maggioni was the scorer. FCF claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 73 percent.

C. Mcgregor performed admirably for Fokers utd. G. Beckman on the other hand, had a terrible day. FCF's best player was R. Alves. A. Marques turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 1.
