Spectators: 7869 (Terracing: 5903, Seating: 1810, VIP seats: 156) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Michael Rütimann took the kick off in the first half of the match. 4 minutes into the match, SpVgg Blauer Platz's goal looked a bit too open when Michael Rütimann came free, but Pius Jung reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Goran Bosshard fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 7th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Pius Jung having to interfere.

After 41 played minutes, K12 Academy's Garry Nietlisbach shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Pius Jung came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in K12 Academy reached it. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

After a defensive mix-up in SpVgg Blauer Platz's zone, Goran Bosshard stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.
