Spectators: 7465 (Terracing: 5600, Seating: 1716, VIP seats: 149) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play.

Ergün Terzi took the ball and in the 45 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Ollie Clark. Ollie Clark dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-2. Disappointed in the 0-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Grant Cornish was the one to do the kick off.
