Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Cäsar Unger made the kick off which started today's match. In the 7th match minute, Realta was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Fernand Zeitner to maneuver through the defense. If Mike Witzig had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 12th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience was convinced that Clas Stauber's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Ivan Jermann was relentless in the 15th minute of the game. Ivan Jermann stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Clas Stauber's shot from short distance in the 16th minute. In the 18th minute the ball was on its way in behind Realta's goalkeeper Toni Gräf, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Realta's Toni Gräf proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 20th minute of the match, managed to save Realta from getting a goal against them.

After some fancy dribbling in the 34th minute, Horace Marois managed to get in a good position for a shot. Gafien FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Horace Marois was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Toni Gräf breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 39 minutes into the match, Realta's goal looked a bit too open when Horace Marois came free, but Toni Gräf reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Horace Marois got free in front of the goal in the 48th minute he wasn't very focused and chipped the ball just over the goal. Toni Gräf was delighted since he was out of position and the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Gafien FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Mike Witzig was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Toni Gräf breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.
