Friborg started the match on its feet and logically opened the scoring in the 4th minute thanks to Borgström, author of a powerful shot into the top corner. Dominant, the Dragons multiplied the opportunities, but lacked success in numerical superiority, notably with a post. Davos took the opportunity to equalize against the run of play in the 16th minute, through Nussbaumer, and the two teams returned to the locker room with a tie score (1-1).
The second third was marked by increased intensity and several chances on both sides. After a post by Sörensen and a missed penalty by Richard, Freiburg finally regained the advantage in the 25th minute: six seconds after the start of a double numerical superiority, Sörensen found the top corner on a pass from Johnson. The Dragons then resisted the Graubünden attempts and maintained their narrow lead before the final third.
Davos tried to come back to the score in the last twenty minutes, but Waeber and the Friborg defense held on. Despite a few scares, including a shot from Minder that went close to the post, the Dragons sealed their success in the 59th minute. While Davos had released his goalkeeper, Bertschy took advantage of the empty cage to make it 3-1.
