He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in LEBEG Team reached it. In the 32ndth minute of the game Jonas Herz who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but LEBEG Team's Thiago Leiva was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. In the 33rd minute of the match Zelg FC got a corner. LEBEG Team's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag.

Zelg FC's Albain Furst was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Thiago Leiva in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Arturo Zapolski fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 35th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Sepp Mainville having to interfere. In the 36th minute Arturo Zapolski shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sepp Mainville saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. LEBEG Team's Delmiro Etxekopar got a good chance for a goal in the 40th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Arturo Zapolski made a kick off. 51 minutes into the match, Zelg FC's goalkeeper Sepp Mainville had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Jo-Wilfried Zaaboub. With a little luck, Zelg FC's Sepp Mainville got control of the ball when Jo-Wilfried Zaaboub tried to sneak it across the goal line. Thiago Leiva showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Irwin Monney, who was totally free with the ball in the 56th minute. Arturo Zapolskis short, quick shot in the 59thth minute got Sepp Mainville to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in.

Irwin Monney might have been able to make a better finish in the 72nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Thiago Leiva. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Irwin Monney ran back to his position shaking his head. An unexpectedly hard shot by Irwin Monney in the 72nd minute of play forced LEBEG Team's goalkeeper Thiago Leiva to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 74 minutes into the match, LEBEG Team's goal looked a bit too open when Gilles Clerc came free, but Thiago Leiva reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Gilles Clerc scored 1-0 in the 74th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Thiago Leiva, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. If Jonas Herz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 78th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. For all the effort they put into the match, the LEBEG Team players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Zelg FC.
