Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Ivar Sontman made the kick off which started today's match. Germany's Tommy Kahn proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 3rd minute of the match, managed to save Germany from getting a goal against them. When Albin Holweck came up free with the goalie in the 4th minute, the Germany 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 Albin Holweck couldn't finish the play. In the 5th minute, Malte Schiele hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Germany's Tommy Kahn played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Jens Back in the 6th minute of play. In the 8th minute, Ivar Sontman ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Tommy Kahn was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-0. After having played for 11 minutes, Ivar Sontman managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ralles Bollklubb's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ivar Sontman was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a rather tough play, Germany's Janik Vogt got a free kick in the 16th minute. Dragan Numanović received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 20th minute. Tommy Kahn tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Dragan Numanović received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Tommy Kahn came out and tried to block the shot, but Dragan Numanović slotted it home off the left post making it 2-0 in the 23rd minute. In the 26th minute, Anton Bröms hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Tata Rușanu showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Frank Sachs in the 27th minute of the match. In the 28th minute Germany were awarded a corner. Frank Sachs went to the cornerflag to take it. An unexpectedly hard shot by Dragan Numanović in the 30th minute of play forced Germany's goalkeeper Tommy Kahn to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 39 minutes into the match, Ralles Bollklubb's goal looked a bit too open when Chris Mergenthaler came free, but Tata Rușanu reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Frank Sachs had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When the match had gone on for 45 minutes, Dragan Numanović took a quick shot and it went in 3-0 without a chance for Tommy Kahn to make any attempt to save it.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Frank Sachs to make the kick off. In the 52nd minute, Greger Sandström hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. With a little luck, Ralles Bollklubb's Tata Rușanu got control of the ball when Frank Sachs tried to sneak it across the goal line. After a rather tough play, Ralles Bollklubb's Greger Sandström got a free kick in the 63rd minute. Frank Sachs struck a weak shot in the 68th minute. Tata Rușanu didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Germany. The supporters of Ralles Bollklubb booed when Germany was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 71 match minutes in a wonderful position. Frank Sachs didn't get a good kick on the ball. Frank Sachs was in a good position and ended up with the ball after Germany's free kick, but he didn't get a good hit on the ball and blazed it high and to the right of the goal. Ralles Bollklubb made a substitution. Esteban Ezkerra replaced Dragan Numanović. After 72 played minutes Germany got a freekick which was hit by Frank Sachs. Frank Sachs sent away a hard shot on goal in the 74th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 75th minute, Ivar Sontman made a precise shot to the right of Tommy Kahn. Germany's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 4-0. An unexpectedly hard shot by Douglas D Agostino in the 78th minute of play forced Germany's goalkeeper Tommy Kahn to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The audience thought a goal was coming when Frank Sachs got free with Tata Rușanu in the 82nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. When Ivar Sontman came up free with the goalie in the 93rd minute, the Ralles Bollklubb 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 Ivar Sontman couldn't finish the play. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Ralles Bollklubb fully deserved thier win.
