Aleš Čermák was the first to have an effort on goal when he rushed towards goal on the left side. He shot only on the side net. On 21st minute the home team performed well. Martin Fillo centred the ball to Dame Diop who was finally stopped by Aleš Hruška. Moments later Martin Fillo repeated the action.

On 65 minutes the coach Vrba made the first substitution – Marek Bakoš was replaced by Tomáš Chorý. He could immediately open the score but his shot off goal. Aleš Čermák had an effort on goal moment later but failed. 5 minutes before the end of the match Jan Kopic took the ball from the left side but Laštůvka saved it.
