According to regional coverage, the visitors broke the deadlock in the 41st minute when Dário Essugo unleashed a powerful cross-shot from outside the penalty area that left the home goalkeeper with no chance.

The second half saw both goalkeepers called into action. After a header by Witsel was gathered cleanly by Jorgensen, Filip Jörgensen produced a double-save to deny Amoura—who had been set up by Hein—while Wahi missed the target with a header from a Clauss cross moments later.
The breakthrough arrived in the 80th minute. Set up by Sofiane Diop at the edge of the box on the right side, Clauss fired a strike that rattled against the crossbar before nestling in the back of the net.
The Alsatian visitors utilized substitutes including Giovanni Reyna and Jacobo Ortega.
