After 11 minutes of play, Rathmore Lime Tree's Flavian Garcon made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Rathmore Lime Tree's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Giorgos Dogramadzhiev was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. 45 minutes into the match, TZITZIFIES's goal looked a bit too open when Flavian Garcon came free, but Giorgos Nifitsas reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Giorgos Dogramadzhiev stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Rathmore Lime Tree's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Benoît Lamarre in the 57th minute. Vlassis Prattis tried to clear up in front of the goal, but didn't succeed and rather the ball rolled into the own goal to the right of a despaired Giorgos Nifitsas. An unnecessary self made goal, 4-1 in the 58th minute. If Flavian Garcon had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.
