Spectators: 45 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Konrad Knopek started the match with the kick off. A collision led to FC ICEWIND DALE getting a freekick after 8 minutes play. Bor Do hit a great ball. Rega Merida CF's Constantin Arnăuțescu shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 9th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Kuno Lüdimõis but with some difficulty. Abdulhamit Beycan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 16th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Konrad Knopek received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 20th minute. Kuno Lüdimõis tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Fernando Marinho in the 29th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Erol Suer prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Kuno Lüdimõis made an important save on a dangerous shot by Abdulhamit Beycan in the 34th minute. If Ding Beckham had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 38th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 45 played minutes Rega Merida CF got a freekick which was hit by Konrad Knopek. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Fernando Marinho stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. An unexpectedly hard shot by Konrad Knopek in the 67th minute of play forced FC ICEWIND DALE's goalkeeper Kuno Lüdimõis to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Rega Merida CF made a substitution. Damazy Warka replaced Abdulhamit Beycan. A sloppy throw-in by Constantin Arnăuțescu in the 71st minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by FC ICEWIND DALE's Walery Wolicki. Kuno Lüdimõis stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Karol Swiderski's shot from short distance in the 75th minute. In the 76th minute, Rega Merida CF's Ersen Durmus seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Ersen Durmus the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Rega Merida CF protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Ersen Durmus had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. Erol Suer had in the 79thth minute some difficulties stopping Walery Wolicki's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. In the 79th minute, Walery Wolicki ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Erol Suer was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-1. 83 minutes into the match, FC ICEWIND DALE's goal looked a bit too open when Damazy Warka came free, but Kuno Lüdimõis reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Both teams had looked equal from kick-off, and no-one was surprised when the match finally ended in a draw.
