Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Predators. 24 minutes into the game, etoile had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to passable. T. Carrère of etoile seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 1 - 0 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by R. Spilners. M. Lekeš's penalty kick ended up in the arms of the keeper, preventing the equaliser, 30 minutes into the game. After 35 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as etoile found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to inadequate. etoile solidified their lead at the 36 minute mark, as D. Mastrodonato dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 2 - 0. 37 minutes into the match etoile's A. Galindo head butted an opponent nastily, and so the referee sent him off immediately. Things were deteriorating for the away team as etoile scored another to make it 3 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for M. Borrel after 38 minutes. The players of etoile now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. 40 minutes in, etoile appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only inadequate. E. Víšek showed why he is feared on the counterattack, breaking through in the middle and scoring for Predators after 42 minutes to make the score 3 - 1. It was 3 - 1 at the break. etoile claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 55 percent.

The etoile players spent the break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organisation and regained a solid organisation when the game started again. A bit later, Predators's P. Novák easily reduced the lead to 3 - 2 after a misunderstanding in the home side's central defence. A great save by keeper S. Lautanen after 70 minutes kept the visitors in the game after A. Ben Chrouda struck from the left with a real cannonball. 76 minutes into the game, etoile seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to weak. etoile managed to extend their lead to 4 - 2 when D. Paulişan cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. After 81 minutes, R. Spilners put etoile ahead 5 - 2 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. 84 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as D. Paulişan broke through, making the score 6 - 2 for etoile. Predators needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 87 minutes S. Lautanen made way for S. Al Hussein. The bench was restless, and with 88 minutes passed Predators's coach gave A. Geryk the opportunity the player had been hoping for. A. Meller reluctantly left the field. With 88 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock, Predators showed some good skill and were able to reduce the score to 6 - 3 when R. Laibl got past the home side's central defenders right in front of the goal. Maybe due to the uphill battle the team was facing, the Predators manager looked to change things around. After 89 minutes, F. Gomola and R. Laibl swapped positions on the field. After 89 minutes, Predators switched F. Gomola with R. Hoľan, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. Predators had most of the ball, with 76 percent of possession.

A. Ben Chrouda performed admirably for etoile. D. Paulişan on the other hand, had a terrible day. Predators's top performer was clearly M. Lekeš. R. Laibl turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 6 - 3.
