FC saw most attack opportunities on the wings. It was an obvious ambition of Szafayoko to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. The coach of FC wanted to try to change things around after 1 minutes, and gave new tactical instructions. 2 minutes into the match, the FC manager wanted to try a new tactic, and the players loyally obliged. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Szafayoko, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. D. Śliwa had a good opportunity to give Szafayoko the lead as he charged down the right and struck the ball towards the top corner, but the home team's goalkeeper made the save. Priding himself in being an active coach, the FC manager gave new instructions to his players after 3 minutes. With the match clock at 4 minutes, FC modified their style of play a little bit. After 5 minutes, the FC coach had a quick word about the tactical set-up and decided to try another approach. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, M. Pol got himself booked. The manager of FC was not happy. With 22 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as M. Smalhout flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. Szafayoko's right side looked dangerous 30 minutes in, but C. Pecquery made a good save on D. Śliwa's hard shot to the top corner. FC put in a good effort on the right, but M. Guilizzoni saw his volley fly wide of the mark 34 minutes into the game. Halftime score was 1 - 0. Szafayoko enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 56 percent of possession.

Usually a powerful player on the field, J. Cerek looked kind of pale and tired under the hot sun. F. Klappen unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by FC, with 52 percent of the ball.

Most important FC player was M. Lolini. On the other hand, F. Klappen's play was disheartening. Szafayoko's top performer was clearly M. Killblom. However, M. Brajer made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 0.
