Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Anton Siöman took the kick off in the first half of the match. Nils Sellberg's late challenge caught a Switzerland's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Nils Sellberg helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to FC Snipers getting a freekick after 3 minutes play. Nils Sellberg hit a great ball. After a defensive mix-up in Switzerland's zone, Christer Elg stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Hias Nüssli came out of the goal and Christer Elg tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. A sloppy throw-in by Göran Olofsson in the 10th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by Switzerland's Rodrigo von Känel. The throw-in from Göran Olofsson in the 13th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Switzerland's Rodrigo von Känel. 18 minutes into the game, Anton Siöman lined in a short shot 1-0 behind a frustrated Hias Nüssli. FC Snipers's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Göran Bocklund in the 22nd minute. After taking down the ball on FC Snipers's corner Göran Bocklund fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Hias Nüssli quite easily take care of the ball. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Jacinto Maurer during the 25th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. If Samuele Kunz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Göran Bocklund struck a weak shot in the 41st minute. Hias Nüssli didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for FC Snipers. The audience thought a goal was coming when Anton Siöman got free with Hias Nüssli in the 42nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 43rd minute, Dennis Qvarnström hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Emanuel Brandin showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jacinto Maurer in the 45th minute of the match. 47 minutes into the game, Leo Allemann was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Switzerland's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave FC Snipers the free kick.

The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Samuele Kunz to strike the kick off in the second half. Jacinto Maurer recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 53rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Anton Siöman received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 58th minute. Hias Nüssli tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Göran Olofsson fell near the penalty area in the 69th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored FC Snipers's protests and gave Göran Olofsson a yellow card for diving instead. Samuele Kunz scored 1-1 in the 70th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Emanuel Brandin, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Hias Nüssli took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Anton Siöman, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 83 played minutes FC Snipers got a freekick which was hit by Dennis Qvarnström. Hias Nüssli showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Anton Siöman, who was totally free with the ball in the 85th minute. 87 minutes into the match, FC Snipers's goal looked a bit too open when Jacinto Maurer came free, but Emanuel Brandin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. With a little luck, FC Snipers's Emanuel Brandin got control of the ball when Samuele Kunz tried to sneak it across the goal line. Switzerland's Eric Thomi suffered a concussion in the 97th minute, after a hard challenge, and had to leave the field. After 97 minutes, Dennis Qvarnström mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the FC Snipers and the Switzerland players grew even worse after the yellow card. Switzerland made a substitution. Oskar Scheller replaced Eric Thomi. Switzerland were unable to convert their possession into goals, allowing FC Snipers to leave the ground with a draw.
