Spectators: 150 (Terracing: 113, Seating: 34, VIP seats: 3) Le Cabaret's Kimon Makrodimitris started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Adam Belon fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 5th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Kanake Papadis having to interfere. If Dove Carrat had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Martial Jay had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 15th minute, Martial Jay ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Kanake Papadis was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1.

In the 20th minute, Aigyptos Papoutsis hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Kanake Papadis showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Armand Boissin in the 21st minute of the match. Frigyes Rigó made a fantastic save in the 27th minute, when Kroios Stagias sent off a good shot on target. With a little luck, Stade Ygossais's Frigyes Rigó got control of the ball when Polybos Phocas tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 31st minute Stade Ygossais were awarded a corner. Armand Boissin went to the cornerflag to take it. After a rather tough play, Stade Ygossais's Manuel Loustalot got a free kick in the 32nd minute. The audience thought a goal was coming when Kroios Stagias got free with Frigyes Rigó in the 35th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Gylippus Sardelis made a great header on Le Cabaret's corner, it was just that Stade Ygossais's Frigyes Rigó managed to reach the ball for a save. After a defensive mix-up in Stade Ygossais's zone, Aigyptos Papoutsis stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Frigyes Rigó came out of the goal and Aigyptos Papoutsis tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 40th minute, Le Cabaret's Kroios Stagias dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-1. Frigyes Rigó showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Kimon Makrodimitris, who was totally free with the ball in the 46th minute. When Martial Jay came up free with the goalie in the 47th minute, the Stade Ygossais fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Martial Jay couldn't finish the play.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Martial Jay to make the kick off. Stade Ygossais's Frigyes Rigó played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Kroios Stagias in the 55th minute of play. Le Cabaret's Kanake Papadis proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 62nd minute of the match, managed to save Le Cabaret from getting a goal against them. When Timos Softhis fell near the penalty area in the 71st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Le Cabaret's protests and gave Timos Softhis a yellow card for diving instead. Stade Ygossais's attentive Dove Carrat managed to snatch the ball when Akheron Manoukarakis made a throw-in in the 74th minute of the game. Martial Jay recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 75th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 78th minute Aigyptos Papoutsis shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Frigyes Rigó saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Frigyes Rigó took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Kimon Makrodimitris, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Frigyes Rigó made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Kroios Stagias in the 80th minute of play. A collision led to Le Cabaret getting a freekick after 82 minutes play. Akheron Manoukarakis hit a great ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 90th minute, Cédric Louison managed to get in a good position for a shot. Stade Ygossais's supporters rose to their feet, but Cédric Louison was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Kanake Papadis breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Martial Jay had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 94th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
