Spectators: 7444 (Terracing: 5584, Seating: 1712, VIP seats: 148) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Edgar Domini made the kick off which started today's match. Jimeno Claus made an important save on a dangerous shot by Nino Forcucci in the 7th minute. Ulf Hägeli struck a weak shot in the 10th minute. Jimeno Claus didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for B O B I S A. Argentinean Patriots 1816's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Ulf Hägeli 14 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 1-0. After having played for 22 minutes, Andres Sayvion managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Argentinean Patriots 1816's supporters crossed their fingers, but Andres Sayvion was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Aaron Arnold charged in rather forcefully in the 24th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Aaron Arnold the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Aaron Arnold hit a great freekick 24 minutes into the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Primitivo Vitin in the 25th minute of play forced B O B I S A's goalkeeper Gates Boeck to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Aaron Benat charged in rather forcefully in the 26th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Aaron Benat the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of B O B I S A booed when Argentinean Patriots 1816 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 44 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ramiro Sauveur didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 48th minute Andres Sayvion shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gates Boeck saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Andres Sayvion to strike the kick off in the second half. The supporters of B O B I S A booed when Argentinean Patriots 1816 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 53 match minutes in a wonderful position. Andres Sayvion didn't get a good kick on the ball. Edgar Domini recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 57th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Argentinean Patriots 1816's Alvaro Bartoli got a good chance for a goal in the 63rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Derek Leuenberger kicked well hit freekick during the 64th minute of the match. After having played for 66 minutes, Andres Sayvion managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

In the 70th minute, Andres Sayvion reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Gates Boeck. The goal made the score 4-1. After some fancy dribbling in the 74th minute, Alvaro Bartoli managed to get in a good position for a shot. Argentinean Patriots 1816's supporters rose to their feet, but Alvaro Bartoli was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Gates Boeck breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Nino Forcucci had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 76th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 82nd minute, Mariano Eyague hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Argentinean Patriots 1816's Primitivo Vitin pulled a muscle in his back after 89 minutes and couldn't finish the game. When Ulf Hägeli fell near the penalty area in the 89th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored B O B I S A's protests and gave Ulf Hägeli a yellow card for diving instead. Argentinean Patriots 1816 made a substitution. Silvano Eliazar replaced Primitivo Vitin. Gates Boeck took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Andres Sayvion, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. B O B I S A's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
