Spectators: 159 (Terracing: 120, Seating: 36, VIP seats: 3) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Youri Lignon kicked off to start the match. Youri Lignon's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 7thth minute, Mirel Çyfeku skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. If Sylvain Chiffoleau had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Youri Lignon blasted a shot towards the goal in the 9th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Mirel Çyfeku having to make a save.

Sylvain Chiffoleau sent away a hard shot on goal in the 22nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Mirel Çyfeku showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Youri Lignon, who was totally free with the ball in the 33rd minute.

The tension between the A.K.Sh Albania and the Ground Control players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 47th minute, Youri Lignon left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Ground Control fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-1. After a very even first half the match was still tied.
