D. Jarzyna was uncomfortable with the soggy pitch as he couldn't move the ball around with his usual grace. 14 minutes into the game, C. Vieira had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide. Modelari had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 18 minutes in when O. Pichon came up alone against W. Molendijk who managed a block. Modelari had to make a substitution after 29 minutes. E. Fukala limped off the field and was replaced by J. Vojáček. 31 minutes into the game, R. Zahner was a hair's breadth away from giving Modelari the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by W. Molendijk saved the home team that time. With 34 minutes played, M. Pérez Bueno of fiorendave fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. After 36 minutes Modelari's G. Pietrucci contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. Modelari had most of the ball, with 59 percent of possession.

fiorendave almost scored after a counterattack 60 minutes into the match, but A. Erba took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side of the net. The visitors could have taken the lead from a free kick after 78 minutes, if it wasn't for the jaw-dropping save by W. Molendijk. It was a bad day for the usually speedy J. Půta. The mud seemed to slow him down. Modelari's J. Vojáček got himself booked for a foul. Modelari claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

F. Mateus performed admirably for fiorendave. However, W. Molendijk made a disastrous appearance. Modelari's best player was D. Kopitar. On the other hand, J. Vojáček's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 0.
