The first half was an arm wrestle as each team tried to get the better of the other. With possession a fleeting thing as each team’s defensive efforts where fantastic. Finally a break through came in favor of Fitzroy through their star play maker Scott Rogan. This remained the case for most of the first half until Richard Ferguson from Pascoe Vale found a breakthrough. As half time rolled around the two teams sat equal at one goal a piece.

The second half started in the same manner as the first with both teams neck and neck throughout neither team able to break through the defense of the other. This lasted for ten more minutes before Andre Caro powered home a fantastic goal from the corner of the pitch. The proved to be the turning point in the game.
