At 24 minutes played, M. Masala came in from the right with the intention of giving Reix the lead, but his rocket of a shot rattled the crossbar. After 28 minutes M. Masala made a speedy advance and dropped the ball to V. Dürrschmidt who shuffled it past the keeper. The score was now 1 - 0. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. O. Colella squirmed through their central defence after 34 minutes, increasing the lead to 2 - 0. 2 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Reix, who controlled the ball 79 percent of the time.

Reix will have to do without S. Elomo for a time, due to a bad foot injury at the 66 minute mark. He was substituted by G. Bánffy. A foul called during a Peksupoisid counterattack resulted in a great chance to score, but G. Rusconi's shot rattled off the post. M. Masala had a fantastic opportunity to put Reix up another goal 75 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. Coming in from the right, Peksupoisid had a good opportunity to convert on a counterattack after 76 minutes, but T. Räst's attempt to finish was easily stopped. Reix claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 77 percent.

Reix's best player was M. Masala. On the other hand, G. Auvray's play was disheartening. The most dominating Peksupoisid player was without a doubt F. Pedretti. F. Daniëls on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 0.
