Spectators: 41 (Terracing: 32, 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. Germany's Tommy Kahn played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tobias Kellberg in the 3rd minute of play. Mikael Vennerström took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Frank Sachs, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Frank Sachs might have been able to make a better finish in the 10th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Mikael Vennerström. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Frank Sachs ran back to his position shaking his head. 14 minutes into the match, Överås BK's goal looked a bit too open when Frank Sachs came free, but Mikael Vennerström reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 23rd minute Henric Magnusson 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. A collision led to Germany getting a freekick after 23 minutes play. Malte Schiele hit a great ball. Douglas Fransson had several of the Germany's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 30 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-0 score and a disappointed Tommy Kahn as he didn't even see the shot coming. Frank Sachs received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 32nd minute. Mikael Vennerström tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Frank Sachs fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 36th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mikael Vennerström having to interfere. Mikael Vennerström made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Frank Sachs in the 37th minute of play. 44 minutes into the match, Germany's Frank Sachs sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Mikael Vennerström narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Tommy Kahn made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ludvig Alebeck in the 45th minute of play. Tommy Kahn took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Jan Jönsson, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Tobias Kellberg was the one to do the kick off. After having played for 53 minutes, Albin Holweck managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Germany's supporters crossed their fingers, but Albin Holweck was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 55th minute, Germany's Janik Vogt seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Janik Vogt the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Germany protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Janik Vogt had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 54th minute of the game. One of Germany:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Överås BK:s goal. Henric Magnusson fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 59th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Tommy Kahn having to interfere. If Albin Holweck had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Germany's Willy Stieler quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Tobias Mager, made in the 69th minute of the game. Albin Holweck fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 72nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mikael Vennerström having to interfere. Albin Holweck struck a weak shot in the 76th minute. Mikael Vennerström didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Germany. Albin Holweck received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 80th minute. Mikael Vennerström tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Tommy Kahn made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ludvig Alebeck in the 89th minute of play. Mikael Vennerström showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Albin Holweck in the 91st minute of the match. In the 92nd minute of the match Germany got a corner. Överås BK'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 led Germany's Linus Schwerner to fire away a dangerous shot which Mikael Vennerström despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. A collision led to Germany getting a freekick after 94 minutes play. Sven Krakouer hit a great ball. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Överås BK fans cheered their team off the field, for while Germany had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
