Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Engin Dönmez started the match with the kick off. Albin Holweck fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 3rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Samuel Asteri having to interfere. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Engin Dönmez in the 5th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Tommy Kahn saved Germany from getting behind. Adrian Dreifuss hit a great freekick 8 minutes into the match. Germany's Tommy Kahn played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Teodoro Baumar in the 9th minute of play. 10 minutes into the match, Volvimos mejores's goal looked a bit too open when Frank Sachs came free, but Samuel Asteri reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 14th minute of the match Germany got a corner. Volvimos mejores's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Frank Sachs ran over to the corner to take the kick. The corner first didn't look so dangerous but when Janik Vogt got the ball he succeeded in some way to get through the defenders to deliver a very hard score. Result 0-1. 15 minutes into the match. Germany's Willy Stieler managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Elias Pere in the 18 minute of the game. In the 22nd minute Engin Dönmez 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. An unexpected shot in the 24th minute by Hector Izel got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. Engin Dönmez did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 1-2 to the left of a surprised Tommy Kahn 24 minutes into the match. In the 28th minute the ball was on its way in behind Germany's goalkeeper Tommy Kahn, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Germany's Tommy Kahn proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 31st minute of the match, managed to save Germany from getting a goal against them. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Frank Sachs in the 32nd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Samuel Asteri saved Volvimos mejores from getting behind. Teodoro Baumar received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 39th minute. Tommy Kahn tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 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.

The wind increased when Frank Sachs made the kick off in the second half. Tommy Kahn showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Teodoro Baumar in the 59th minute of the match. The audience thought a goal was coming when Frank Sachs got free with Samuel Asteri in the 62nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. If Chris Mergenthaler had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, Volvimos mejores's Teodoro Baumar got a free kick in the 72nd minute. With a little luck, Volvimos mejores's Samuel Asteri got control of the ball when Frank Sachs tried to sneak it across the goal line. 75 minutes had been played when some careless play by Volvimos mejores's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Frank Sachs was slow to take the kick. During this time Germany's players had a chance to rest. Samuel Asteri took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Albin Holweck, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Tommy Kahn showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Engin Dönmez in the 77th minute of the match.

Tommy Kahn didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Rubén-Darío Insúa went, in the 83rd minute, to the upper right corner, 3-2 was the resulting score. Inocencio Valente's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Tommy Kahn read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 95th minute of play. When the referee ended the match the Volvimos mejores players were able to celebrate. They had won a fair victory and recieved the ovations of their fans.
