After 29 minutes GeNaReTioN NeXT's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Leonel Valentim who took care of the corner kick.

In the 47th minute Witold Ciempa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Yasin Turabi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

After some fancy dribbling in the 66th minute, Rıfkı Pekant managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Jeremias Cruz breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Cremonese made a substitution. Mauro Rexino replaced Roman Chucho.
