In the 9th minute Frank Sachs shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cristopher Herndon saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

After a rather tough play, Inmortales FC's Wesley Cage got a free kick in the 14th minute. Frank Sachs received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 16th minute. Cristopher Herndon tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 20 minutes in the game Elias Lim did a throw-in, and the ball was quickly in game thanks to Larry Colby. If Ulrich Stein had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 24 minutes, Albin Holweck managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Germany's supporters crossed their fingers, but Albin Holweck was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Thanks to some nice moves Mike Clinton could shoot a difficult shot in the 36th minute, which Tommy Kahn however easily saved by the left post. Inmortales FC's Cristopher Herndon played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ulrich Stein in the 40th minute of play. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The wind increased when Mike Clinton made the kick off in the second half. Cristopher Herndon made an important save on a dangerous shot by Frank Sachs in the 64th minute. 68 minutes into the game, Mike Clinton cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-0. Tommy Kahn was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After a defensive mix-up in Inmortales FC's zone, Albin Holweck stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Cristopher Herndon came out of the goal and Albin Holweck tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 80th minute, Elias Lim hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. A throw-in in the 85th minute of the game was made by Elias Lim with Larry Colby as target, who quickly passed the ball forward.

The crowd rose to their feet and cheered when the referee blew the final whistle. Inmortales FC had won after a very even match.
