In the 18th minute, Paks came close to taking the lead, but Papp's shot was blocked by Raemaekers. In the 34th minute, Gruber could have gone one-on-one with the goalkeeper after an excellent pass from Kovacevic, but our striker pushed the ball too far. In the final minutes, Raemaekers gave the ball away, Osváth pounced on it, but his shot went just over the bar. At the end of a scramble in front of the goal, Gómez had a chance to shoot, but he missed the goal, while on the other side, Gróf had to make a brilliant save, pushing Osváth's powerful shot onto the crossbar.
