Spectators: 161 (Terracing: 121, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) O.T.E's Özen Baroğlu started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Özen Baroğlu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 3rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The audience was convinced that Mehmet Halis Ergün's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Stamatis Banasidis was relentless in the 5th minute of the game. If Mehmet Halis Ergün had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Fabian Niedzwiecki during the 12th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 12th minute, Fabian Niedzwiecki hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 14th minute, Özen Baroğlu ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Fation Bekollari was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. Özen Baroğlu scored 0-2 in the 18th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Fation Bekollari, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 25 minutes into the match, O.T.E's goalkeeper Stamatis Banasidis had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Mehmet Halis Ergün. Fation Bekollari stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Özen Baroğlu's shot from short distance in the 30th minute. Zamir Hamzaj hit a great freekick 31 minutes into the match.

Fation Bekollari took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Özen Baroğlu, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Bernardinho Guerra was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 39th minute. A.K.Sh Albania's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. A sloppy throw-in by Zamir Hamzaj in the 41st minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by O.T.E's Thrasivoulos Stamatis. O.T.E's Stamatis Banasidis played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Mehmet Halis Ergün in the 47th minute of play. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Alesandro Nesta struck a weak shot in the 58th minute. Stamatis Banasidis didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for A.K.Sh Albania. A.K.Sh Albania were awarded a corner in the 65th minute after O.T.E's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Alesandro Nesta took the corner. 68 minutes into the game, Mehmet Halis Ergün cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-3. Stamatis Banasidis was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. In the 71stth minute of the game Mehmet Halis Ergün who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but O.T.E's Stamatis Banasidis was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball.

Alesandro Nesta sent away a hard shot on goal in the 88th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

A.K.Sh Albania's attentive Zamir Hamzaj managed to snatch the ball when 盛世 Le Parc made a throw-in in the 95th minute of the game.
