His first effort came in the sixth minute when his glancing header was stopped by the goalkeeper; three minutes later he smashed a volley only to see it hit the crossbar. After the break, Colley tried his luck, but for the third time he was denied by the goalkeeper.

Adama Bojang lasted the entire first half despite the Zurich-based team playing with 10 men.
