Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Rubim Peralta kicked off to start the match. Reno Idiaquez made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Frank Sachs in the 6th minute of play. 15 minutes into the game, Severiano Primo cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 3-0. Tommy Kahn was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. In the 19th minute, Sven Krakouer hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Germany's Tommy Kahn proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 20th minute of the match, managed to save Germany from getting a goal against them. In the 22nd minute Rubim Peralta shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tommy Kahn saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Frank Sachs had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In a very dangerous position, a player in Germany fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 33rd minute. Penalty! After 34 minutes of play, Mandrake fc's Du Feng Kun made it 4-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Rubim Peralta could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 40th minute of the match, but Tommy Kahn made a huge save. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 5-0.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Frank Sachs was the one to do the kick off. In the 51st minute the ball was on its way in behind Mandrake fc's goalkeeper Reno Idiaquez, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Rubim Peralta in the 54th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Tommy Kahn saved Germany from getting behind. In the 60th minute, Rubim Peralta left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Mandrake fc fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 7-0. When Rubim Peralta came up free with the goalie in the 66th minute, the Mandrake fc fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Rubim Peralta couldn't finish the play. Tommy Kahn showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Rubim Peralta in the 67th minute of the match. 69 minutes into the match, Germany's goal looked a bit too open when Ebardo Romero came free, but Tommy Kahn reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 70th minute Mandrake fc were awarded a corner. Du Feng Kun went to the cornerflag to take it. The supporters of Mandrake fc booed when Germany was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 72 match minutes in a wonderful position. Malte Schiele didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 73 played minutes Germany got a freekick which was hit by Malte Schiele. 80 minutes into the match, Mandrake fc's Rubim Peralta sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Tommy Kahn narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Frank Sachs received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 81st minute. Reno Idiaquez tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Mandrake fc's Barto Radaban was substituted for Rubim Peralta. Tommy Kahn took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Barto Radaban, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 92 minutes of play, Mandrake fc's Barto Radaban made it 8-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Tommy Kahn was left in no man's land by his defense there! It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Mandrake fc had played much better football throughout.
