28 minutes into the game, 180s had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to solid. P. Homem of puddykats received a yellow card after 31 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. P. Agterberg received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 34 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. puddykats will have to do without R. Bakke for a time, due to a bad foot injury at the 42 minute mark. He was substituted by B. Kativerata. 180s's V. Lonie was shown a yellow card after 44 minutes for slicing down an opponent. D. Adomat of puddykats had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. N. Trung Khanh came in to finish the match. 44 minutes into the game, 180s seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a passable level of organisation. puddykats mounted an inspired counterattack down the right wing after 44 minutes, but H. Rahier was unable to convert from short range. Halftime score was 0 - 0. puddykats had most of the ball, with 53 percent of possession.

Despite his frustration resulting in the smashing of a few teacups, the coach of 180s was able to get his message across, and raised 180s's organisation to solid. P. Hagsjö was very close to giving 180s the lead with an ingenious free kick routine 54 minutes into the match, but the ball just grazed the bar. L. Dawson had a good try after 56 minutes, coming in on a fine move from the left, but the ball went wide. The home side put themselves ahead 1 - 0 after 69 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from V. Lonie, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by 180s, with 56 percent of the ball.

180s's best player was V. Lonie. M. Rush was a disappointment, however. Most important puddykats player was G. Kruzel. On the other hand, N. Trung Khanh's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 0.
