When Rolando Grondin came up free with the goalie in the 9th minute, the Ziegelbrücke 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 Rolando Grondin couldn't finish the play. Rolando Grondin fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 13th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Farid Eiholzer having to interfere. Farid Eiholzer took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Gauthier Trierweiler, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The audience was convinced that Thomas Herger's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Farid Eiholzer was relentless in the 25th minute of the game.

With an extended leg and a bit of luck Farid Eiholzer prevented the ball from getting in the gole. In the 28th minute, Rolando Grondin hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.
