Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Frank Sachs took the kick off in the first half of the match. José Vítor Salles made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Albin Holweck in the 3rd minute of play. In the 5th minute Germany were awarded a corner. Frank Sachs went to the cornerflag to take it. After taking down the ball on Germany's corner Frank Sachs fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and José Vítor Salles quite easily take care of the ball. In the 6th match minute, Germany was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Chris Mergenthaler to maneuver through the defense. Germany's Tommy Kahn proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 8th minute of the match, managed to save Germany from getting a goal against them. If Albin Holweck had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 12th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Mariano Ulizes in the 14th play minute got the chance to kick a hard shot on goal from short distance neither the defense or Tommy Kahn kept up with the ball and suddenly the score was 1-0 when the ball slipped into goal inside the left pole. In the 17th minute, Ulrich Stein ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. José Vítor Salles was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-1. In the 21st minute, Frank Sachs ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. José Vítor Salles was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-2. 30 minutes into the match, Germany's goal looked a bit too open when Feliciano Loren came free, but Tommy Kahn reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Tommy Kahn made an important save on a dangerous shot by Feliciano Loren in the 32nd minute. In the 33rd match minute, Germany was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Linus Schwerner to maneuver through the defense. The audience was convinced that Mariano Ulizes's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Tommy Kahn was relentless in the 35th minute of the game. After 39 minutes of play, Germany's Albin Holweck made it 2-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. José Vítor Salles was left in no man's land by his defense there! After some fancy dribbling in the 42nd minute, Fermin Eguzki managed to get in a good position for a shot. Los Infernales FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Fermin Eguzki was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Tommy Kahn breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Mariano Ulizes to make the kick off. When Linus Schwerner fell near the penalty area in the 63rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Germany's protests and gave Linus Schwerner a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Los Infernales FC booed when Germany was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 63 match minutes in a wonderful position. Linus Schwerner didn't get a good kick on the ball. Tommy Kahn didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Feliciano Loren went, in the 64th minute, to the upper right corner, 4-3 was the resulting score. In the 71st match minute, Los Infernales FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Jaime Joachim to maneuver through the defense. After 72 minutes, Mariano Ulizes mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Los Infernales FC and the Germany players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 73rd minute, Mariano Ulizes hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Frank Sachs could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 73rd minute of the match, but José Vítor Salles made a huge save. Tommy Kahn took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mariano Ulizes, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 91 minutes into the match, Germany's goal looked a bit too open when Cipriano Argina came free, but Tommy Kahn reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Germany succeeded in salvaging a draw, even though Los Infernales FC had controlled the match.
