Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Bruno Du Molin started the match with the kick off. After some fancy dribbling in the 9th minute, Florian Zola managed to get in a good position for a shot. Fontana's supporters rose to their feet, but Florian Zola was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Jorg De Clerk breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Stephan Quvelirs scored 1-0 in the 16th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Adriano Federici, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

The Fontana fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-1. 25 minutes into the match, Fontana's Emanuele Antonangeli sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Jorg De Clerk narrowly saved just below the crossbar.
