In the 7th minute, Chan Clet ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Emanuel Enoiu was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-1.

Emanuel Enoiu showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Chan Clet, who was totally free with the ball in the 21st minute.

Chan Clet scored 1-4 in the 37th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Emanuel Enoiu, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. If Nikos Katopodis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience was convinced that Chan Clet's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Emanuel Enoiu was relentless in the 44th minute of the game.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Alexis McAllister was the one to do the kick off. Alexis McAllister took the ball and in the 52 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Wlodzimierz Rawa.
