Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, 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. Balázs Kolozsvári started the match with the kick off. The Alex fans' excitement grew in the 4th match minute when Alex's Béla Pataki looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-0 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Sándor Soltész scored 2-0 in the 13th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Endre Tóth, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. An unexpectedly hard shot by Béla Pataki in the 16th minute of play forced LSE's goalkeeper Endre Tóth to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Balázs Kolozsvári received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 19th minute. Márk Kozák tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When the match clock showed 22 minutes, the score became 2-1 when Balázs Kolozsvári sped through Alex's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Márk Kozák.

Balázs Kolozsvári received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 43rd minute. Márk Kozák tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Márk Kozák took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Balázs Kolozsvári, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Imre Keserű thought of kicking away a contribution in front of goal but messed it up so badly that the ball went to the right of an astonished Márk Kozák, a very annoying self made goal in the 50th minute which led to 2-2. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

Márton Török could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 59th minute of the match, but Márk Kozák made a huge save. The supporters of Alex booed when LSE was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 60 match minutes in a wonderful position. Balázs Kolozsvári didn't get a good kick on the ball. 63 minutes into the game, Balázs Kolozsvári was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. LSE's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Alex the free kick. In the 63rd minute, Balázs Kolozsvári hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The Alex fans' excitement grew in the 65th match minute when Alex's Béla Pataki looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 3-2 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. In the 68th minute Balázs Kolozsvári shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Márk Kozák saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Márk Kozák made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Balázs Kolozsvári in the 76th minute of play. With a little luck, Alex's Márk Kozák got control of the ball when Márton Török tried to sneak it across the goal line. Alex's Márk Kozák proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 84th minute of the match, managed to save Alex from getting a goal against them. After a defensive mix-up in Alex's zone, Márton Török stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Márk Kozák came out of the goal and Márton Török tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Endre Tóth took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Béla Pataki, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 96 played minutes Alex got a freekick which was hit by Ferdinánd Szegh. Alex's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
