Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Emil Kapinos made the kick off and thus started the match. 4 minutes into the match, SMOKI's goalkeeper Patryk Glozor had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Frank Sachs. Bogdan Cholewa sent away a hard shot on goal in the 5th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Tommy Kahn was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. 19 minutes into the match, Janusz Niziolek had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Tommy Kahn. Germany's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Janusz Niziolek was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. After a defensive mix-up in SMOKI's zone, Frank Sachs stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Patryk Glozor came out of the goal and Frank Sachs tried to chip the ball over his head.

The ball went over the crossbar instead. Willy Stieler hit a great freekick 42 minutes into the match. In the 43rd minute, Bogdan Cholewa left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The SMOKI fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-4. An unexpectedly hard shot by Frank Sachs in the 46th minute of play forced SMOKI's goalkeeper Patryk Glozor to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Dariusz Wojno hit a great freekick 50 minutes into the match. After 60 minutes, Chris Mergenthaler mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Germany and the SMOKI players grew even worse after the yellow card. After some fancy dribbling in the 63rd minute, Emil Kapinos managed to get in a good position for a shot. SMOKI's supporters rose to their feet, but Emil Kapinos 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. In the 70th minute, Albin Holweck hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Emil Kapinos fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 72nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Tommy Kahn having to interfere. Bogdan Cholewa took the ball and in the 73 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Tommy Kahn. Tommy Kahn dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-6. 77 minutes into the match, Zdzislaw Smuskiewicz had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Tommy Kahn. Germany's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Zdzislaw Smuskiewicz was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-7. With a little luck, Germany's Tommy Kahn got control of the ball when Bogdan Cholewa tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 88th 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.

Tommy Kahn took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Zdzislaw Smuskiewicz, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Willy Stieler during the 95th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of SMOKI booed when Germany was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 95 match minutes in a wonderful position. Willy Stieler didn't get a good kick on the ball. Dariusz Wojno'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 96th minute of play. When the final whistle sounded SMOKI left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Germany.
