25 minutes in, Tonys appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only passable. 32 minutes into the game, Tonys seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to inadequate. E. Jehle's lack of experience almost gave Tonys a goal after 40 minutes, but the shot went right into the keeper's arms. 41 minutes into the game, J. Rugama almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. LosLocos were very close to putting themselves one up after 43 minutes as E. Jehle got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. 43 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for LosLocos was G. Rütsche. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0. LosLocos had most of the ball, with 63 percent of possession.

A review of the gameplan helped Tonys get back to a solid organisation when the referee blew his whistle again. The LosLocos players could smell victory in the air. C. Lisse-Treuchel wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for S. Capponi after 46 minutes. The home side's R. Potzmann came close to extending the lead 47 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but S. Meulemans managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. 49 minutes into the game, Tonys seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a solid level of organisation. T. Pachatz unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. With 73 minutes played, LosLocos's M. Zitnik almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. Possession in this half belonged to LosLocos, who controlled the ball 62 percent of the time.

Most important LosLocos player was E. Jehle. However, T. Pachatz made a disastrous appearance. Tonys's top performer was clearly C. Grasser. F. Enguidanos on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 0.
