Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) After a defensive mix-up in Denmark's zone, Pierre-Loup Grandgirard stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Keld Paulsen came out of the goal and Pierre-Loup Grandgirard tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Fierce's Faustin Compagnon managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Kenn Skou in the 15 minute of the game. Denmark's Keld Paulsen played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Clovis Lenoble in the 16th minute of play. In the 17th minute the ball was on its way in behind Fierce's goalkeeper Fabrice Lepetit, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The audience was convinced that Chris Nygaard's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Fabrice Lepetit was relentless in the 18th minute of the game. In the 24th minute Bertram Svenningsen shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Fabrice Lepetit saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When the match had gone on for 34 minutes, Clovis Lenoble took a quick shot and it went in 1-0 without a chance for Keld Paulsen to make any attempt to save it. Fabrice Lepetit stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Chris Nygaard's shot from short distance in the 38th minute. Fierce's attentive Andrea Bocelli managed to snatch the ball when Kenn Skou made a throw-in in the 42nd minute of the game. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Chris Nygaard to make the kick off. Fierce's Fabrice Lepetit played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Chris Nygaard in the 51st minute of play. Faustin Compagnon's late challenge caught a Denmark's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Faustin Compagnon helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Denmark booed when Fierce was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 52 match minutes in a wonderful position. Faustin Compagnon didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a rather tough play, Fierce's Christopher Guerif got a free kick in the 53rd minute. Bjarne Kirkegaard charged in rather forcefully in the 59th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Bjarne Kirkegaard the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Denmark booed when Fierce was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 60 match minutes in a wonderful position. Faustin Compagnon didn't get a good kick on the ball. Kenn Skou kicked well hit freekick during the 62nd minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Chris Nygaard in the 66th minute of play forced Fierce's goalkeeper Fabrice Lepetit to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Fierce's Loïc Ruckebusch was substituted for Charlie Salvan. The supporters of Denmark booed when Fierce was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 83 match minutes in a wonderful position. Loïc Ruckebusch didn't get a good kick on the ball. Chris Nygaard struck a weak shot in the 84th minute. Fabrice Lepetit didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Denmark. Chris Nygaard took the ball and in the 91 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Fabrice Lepetit. Fabrice Lepetit dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. Fierce made a substitution. Alvaro De Pedro replaced Alexandre Bertholet. Pierre-Loup Grandgirard sent away a hard shot on goal in the 95th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Denmark were clearly unhappy with the draw, as they felt they had done enough to earn themselves a victory.
