Pressing was the tactic of the day for AP. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 36 minutes into the match, and E. Lanzas Manzanares wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. Ardenis's L. Kaser was shown a yellow card after 37 minutes for slicing down an opponent. With 38 minutes played, after a good run down the left, T. Jurubeba went down looking for a penalty after a challenge from the visitors' right fullback, but the referee waved play on, and later warned him for diving. Some fine passing in the middle of the pitch, carving open the away defence, should have led to a goal for Ardenis, but H. Kakko's shot went over the bar. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Ardenis had most of the ball, with 53 percent of possession.

H. Kakko made a superb strike after 58 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors' defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner. After 70 minutes, L. Kaser got through on the right and was very close to equalising for the home side, but didn't get the shot away. At this time in the match, AP were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. The home crowd was not impressed when P. Winogrocki came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 76 minutes. AP were now up 0 - 2. Possession in this half belonged to Ardenis, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

Most important Ardenis player was C. Kromhout. However, T. Jurubeba made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating AP player was without a doubt M. Lapeyre. On the other hand, E. Lanzas Manzanares's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 2.
