After a rather tough play, Warriors's Piotr Malarczyk got a free kick in the 9th minute. Mick Thomson showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Roger Couzens in the 11th minute of the match. In the 17th minute, Barto Gil hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Alfred Deacon didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 20th minute, which inside left pole to 1-0. Mick Thomson showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Dave Mortimer, who was totally free with the ball in the 23rd minute. In the 32nd minute, Atalay Fidan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 36th minute, Dave Mortimer made a precise shot to the right of Mick Thomson. Warriors's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-1. When Barto Gil came up free with the goalie in the 41st minute, the Warriors 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 Barto Gil couldn't finish the play. Leroy Easter received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 42nd minute. Alfred Deacon tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Mick Thomson showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Jonny French, who was totally free with the ball in the 46th minute. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Leroy Easter made a kick off. Leroy Easter scored 2-1 in the 57th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Alfred Deacon, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Mick Thomson made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Tim Kidd in the 61st minute of play. 63 minutes into the match, Jonny French had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Mick Thomson. Warriors's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Jonny French was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-2. The audience thought a goal was coming when Clive Marriott got free with Mick Thomson in the 78th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Travis Lansdell during the 83rd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 86th minute the ball was on its way in behind Piqnicite's goalkeeper Alfred Deacon, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.
