Samiland players bagan very promisingly and their first opportunity changed into goal by Erik Bertelsen. Leading drugged Samiland. Just few minutes after opening goal Provence had at least 3 very good opportunities to score but shots landed on the bar or goalpost. Once Bergtald made very good save after Mezli’s shot. Provence played better football and equalizer was only a matter of time. In 36th minute E. Hammoud cancelled out Samiland’s leading by scoring his third goal in the tournament.
In the scond half Provance was continuing attacks. One of them ended with a penalty when Bergtald fouled Hammami in the box. Referee showed on the spot and Bergtald was sent off. Thomassen stood in the goal but had no chance to stop Hammami’s shot from the spot. One of the last and despairing atacks of Samiland brougt almost equalizer but Mienna shot over the bar from just 4 meters.
