hameleon needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 46 minutes P. Accorroni made way for I. Talv. With 46 minutes played, the hameleon coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. C. Kern came on, G. Codorean had to leave the fray. P. Bertasi of QUALE took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 75 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 3. With 79 minutes played, R. Ballesteros 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. 82 minutes in, QUALE's J. Stéphan received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first.

hameleon's best player was I. Talv. A. Benenati turned in a dismal performance, however. K. Steigelmann performed admirably for QUALE. However, I. Maia made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 4.
