WHUgda's Remigiusz Borczak got a good chance for a goal in the 4th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 5th match minute, Esesen was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Zula Lewandowski to maneuver through the defense. In a very dangerous position, a player in Esesen fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 6th minute. Penalty! The referee gave WHUgda a penalty, 7 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Danny de la Rosa, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Esesen's Korneliusz Fafinski. 0-1. When the match had gone on for 10 minutes, Radowit Niewiadomski took a quick shot and it went in 1-1 without a chance for Ture Jakobsson to make any attempt to save it. WHUgda's Ture Jakobsson played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Konrad Tarka in the 17th minute of play. Konrad Tarka received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 18th minute. Ture Jakobsson tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Korneliusz Fafinski stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Remigiusz Borczak's shot from short distance in the 27th minute. After a defensive mix-up in Esesen's zone, Leonard Pisarcik stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Korneliusz Fafinski came out of the goal and Leonard Pisarcik tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 30 minutes, Zbyszek Borczak mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the WHUgda and the Esesen players grew even worse after the yellow card. A collision led to WHUgda getting a freekick after 30 minutes play. Zbyszek Borczak hit a great ball. A hard shot by Tobiasz Sienkiewicz from long distance, 30 minutes into the match, got Ture Jakobsson's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. After some fancy dribbling in the 32nd minute, Wincent Byczewski managed to get in a good position for a shot. Esesen's supporters rose to their feet, but Wincent Byczewski was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ture Jakobsson breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Florian Hodas lost his temper 36 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. 35 minutes into the game, one of Esesen:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Wincent Byczewski to make the kick off. After 51 played minutes Esesen got a freekick which was hit by Konrad Tarka. The supporters of WHUgda booed when Esesen was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 55 match minutes in a wonderful position. Zula Lewandowski didn't get a good kick on the ball. Remigiusz Borczak struck a weak shot in the 56th minute. Korneliusz Fafinski didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for WHUgda. Radowit Niewiadomski's late challenge caught a WHUgda's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Radowit Niewiadomski helped the player get up and apologised. Ture Jakobsson showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Radowit Niewiadomski, who was totally free with the ball in the 62nd minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Konrad Tarka in the 63rd minute of play forced WHUgda's goalkeeper Ture Jakobsson to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. WHUgda's Remigiusz Borczak was standing unmarked in front of the goal when he, in the 69th play minute, got the ball and easily drilled it into the goal.
