Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Frank Sachs made the kick off and thus started the match. Frank Sachs recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 7th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Jens Sundström made in the 12th minute of the game a fairly good throw-in which was taken care of by Brynn Andrews. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jervis Tresise in the 14th minute of play forced Germany's goalkeeper Tommy Kahn to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The supporters of Stratton FC booed when Germany was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 15 match minutes in a wonderful position. Albin Holweck didn't get a good kick on the ball. Alessandro Sacchi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 17th minute. Tommy Kahn tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 21 minutes into the match, Stratton FC's goal looked a bit too open when Frank Sachs came free, but Lawrance See reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 28 played minutes Germany got a freekick which was hit by Malte Schiele. When Jervis Tresise came up free with the goalie in the 31st minute, the Stratton FC 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 Jervis Tresise couldn't finish the play. With an all-out effort, Stratton FC's Tommy Kahn threw himself towards the right post 42 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Jervis Tresise, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. 42 minutes into the match, Jervis Tresise 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 Jervis Tresise was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 1-0 at half-time.

The wind increased when Alessandro Sacchi made the kick off in the second half. Stratton FC's Jervis Tresise got a good chance for a goal in the 51st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.

In the 61st minute Jervis Tresise 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. After 62 minutes Germany's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Brynn Andrews who took care of the corner kick. A well-hit corner resulted in Jaffery Tarrant heading the ball towards the goal, but to his dismay he misdirected it and missed the goal completely. Stratton FC's Martyon Gronow was substituted for Matthew Grieve. After some careless play in the Germany defense, Jervis Tresise kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Tommy Kahn.
