Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Charles Labrie started the match with the kick off. Francisco Buccino showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jurij Sablone in the 4th minute of the match. Pablo Schenker took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Georges Briard, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After having played for 9 minutes, Nicolas Kolb managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. FC Winznau's supporters crossed their fingers, but Nicolas Kolb was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Jurij Sablone blasted a shot towards the goal in the 15th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Francisco Buccino having to make a save. 18 minutes into the match, FC Winznau's goal looked a bit too open when Georges Briard came free, but Pablo Schenker reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 23 minutes of play, FC Portugals Glory's Greg Scilacci made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.
