Stadio San Paolo
Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Marko Thiele started the match with the kick off. Camille Baume fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 3rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bilgehan Şerhenk having to interfere. In the 5th minute Frank Peletier shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bilgehan Şerhenk saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Bilgehan Şerhenk took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Camille Baume, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Maxime Durand made a fantastic save in the 12th minute, when Tansu Okuyan sent off a good shot on target. In the 12th minute, Saria & Heavy's Tansu Okuyan ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Maxime Durand.

Saria & Heavy's Marko Thiele was standing unmarked in front of the goal when he, in the 17th play minute, got the ball and easily drilled it into the goal. Tansu Okuyan recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 24th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. France's Maxime Durand proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 28th minute of the match, managed to save France from getting a goal against them. The audience thought a goal was coming when Tansu Okuyan got free with Maxime Durand in the 30th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. The audience was convinced that Marko Thiele's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Maxime Durand was relentless in the 35th minute of the game. Tansu Okuyan in the 40thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Maxime Durand, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Oğuzcan Atatuğ charged in rather forcefully in the 40th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Oğuzcan Atatuğ the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, Saria & Heavy's Oğuzcan Atatuğ got a free kick in the 40th minute. When Marko Thiele fell near the penalty area in the 44th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Saria & Heavy's protests and gave Marko Thiele a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of France booed when Saria & Heavy was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 44 match minutes in a wonderful position. Marko Thiele didn't get a good kick on the ball. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 3-0 at half-time.

Saria & Heavy's Tansu Okuyan got a good chance for a goal in the 53rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Through an outstanding action, after 55 minutes, Bilgehan Şerhenk successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post.

Bilgehan Şerhenk showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Camille Baume, who was totally free with the ball in the 69th minute. If Tansu Okuyan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 72nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 77 minutes into the match, France's goal looked a bit too open when Tansu Okuyan came free, but Maxime Durand reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 79 minutes into the game, Baskın Ulağ was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.

Camille Baume struck a weak shot in the 83rd minute. Bilgehan Şerhenk didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for France.
