Spectators: 7611 (Terracing: 5709, Seating: 1750, VIP seats: 152) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Omero Cobain took the kick off in the first half of the match. After 3 played minutes FCFiratRom got a freekick which was hit by Baybars Yılmaz. If Wiliam Carioca had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Primo Sans blasted a shot towards the goal in the 9th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Ejder Baba having to make a save. Ejder Baba made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Primo Sans in the 9th minute of play. In the 12th minute Wiliam Carioca shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ejder Baba saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The crowd rose to their feet as FCFiratRom's Omero Cobain slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Johan Vollander. That made the score 1-0 after 13 minutes of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Primo Sans in the 18th minute of play forced FCFiratRom's goalkeeper Ejder Baba to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 18 minutes into the match, FCFiratRom's goal looked a bit too open when Primo Sans came free, but Ejder Baba reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 20 minutes into the game, Wiliam Carioca was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Academia B.F.'s manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave FCFiratRom the free kick. In the 20th minute, Wiliam Carioca hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Primo Sans hit a great freekick 25 minutes into the match. Zachary Mentus received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 41st minute. Ejder Baba tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

After having played for 71 minutes, Nino Marcelli managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.
