Frank Sachs took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 4th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Zheng Di Xi. MDS Soccer Club's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Tommy Kahn made a fantastic save in the 6th minute, when Giovanni de Sousa sent off a good shot on target. Zheng Di Xi didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Frank Sachs went, in the 7th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. In the 13th match minute, Germany was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Chris Mergenthaler to maneuver through the defense. Frank Sachs's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Zheng Di Xi read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 15th minute of play. If Erivaldo Severo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience was convinced that Frank Sachs's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Zheng Di Xi was relentless in the 25th minute of the game. Albin Holweck fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 27th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Zheng Di Xi having to interfere. Tommy Kahn took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Erivaldo Severo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Germany's Tommy Kahn proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 37th minute of the match, managed to save Germany from getting a goal against them. In the 42nd minute, Frank Sachs left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Germany fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-2. A collision led to Germany getting a freekick after 45 minutes play. Adrian Dreifuss hit a great ball. Erivaldo Severo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 47th minute. Tommy Kahn tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. MDS Soccer Club made a substitution. José Maria Mineiro replaced Armandinho Brasil. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-2 lead.

61 minutes into the match, Caio Cearense notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of Germany's Tommy Kahn. Tommy Kahn was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After having played for 70 minutes, Frank Sachs managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Germany's supporters crossed their fingers, but Frank Sachs was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Lukasz Gmoch scored 2-2 in the 74th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Tommy Kahn, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Erivaldo Severo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 79th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 86 minutes into the match, Germany's goal looked a bit too open when Erivaldo Severo came free, but Tommy Kahn reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Adrian Dreifuss kicked well hit freekick during the 97th minute of the match. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
