Gugo's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. baboons players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. M. Luijpers behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 28 minutes as he gave the ball away to A. Tripa. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. With 37 minutes played V. Gugo almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. The terraces were silenced after 41 minutes when SZALON's D.

As the 60 minute mark approached, the SZALON coach decided it was time for a substitution. I. Baranovszky reluctantly made way for J. Mäntyniemi on the pitch. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave E. Icoaga from baboons a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 68 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient!
