From the beginning, the young Slovaks tried for combination football, but their opponent made it uncomfortable for them with a fierce attack, but also with a piece of play. The first shooting attempt of Slovakia sent Trusa next to the right post, at the opposite end the goalkeeper Krajčírik started the Boyd-Munce end. Galčík had a fantastic opportunity to put Galčík up another goal 18 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. The guests operated on the offensive half for a long time, but it was difficult for them to reach the 16th Northern Ireland. They took the initiative before the break, but they did not work out a clearer chance to open the score.

The second act started in a similar spirit, but the turnaround occurred in the 53rd minute, when Trusa withdrew Donnelly in the penalty area and caused the eleven. Galbraith stood up to her and with an uncompromising shot overcame Krajčírik, who threw himself on the opposite side. The Slovaks had a difficult task ahead of themselves through the well-organized and firm defense of Northern Ireland. Šviderský tried it from a distance, with a technical experiment he hit just outside the goal. Another possibility arose after Kaprálik’s cooperation with Pokorný, the end of the latter flowing into the safety of Balmer. The lead of the home team could be doubled by the author of the introductory intervention, Galbraith, who ended the individual action just above. Then he threatened Waide with a heel, keeping the guests in the game for a good result Krajčírik. In the end, however, the Slovaks did not manage to avert the closest loss.
