Spectators: 45 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Frank Sachs got the match started through his kick off. The audience thought a goal was coming when Frank Sachs got free with Ball Packert in the 3rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Jérémy Doku in the 4th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Tommy Kahn saved Germany from getting behind. Tommy Kahn didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Jérémy Doku went, in the 7th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. Ball Packert made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Frank Sachs in the 10th minute of play. After 13 played minutes Germany got a freekick which was hit by Adrian Dreifuss. When Ulan Bator Football Club's Jérémy Doku in the 15th minute got a chance for a shot 15th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Germany's goalie prevented a goal. 20 minutes into the match, Jérémy Doku 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 Jérémy Doku was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. In the 27thth minute of the game Frank Sachs who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Ulan Bator Football Club's Ball Packert was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Jérémy Doku received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 28th minute. Tommy Kahn tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 30th minute Jérémy Doku 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. Janik Vogt was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 32 minutes into the match. In the 33rd match minute, Germany was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Janik Vogt to maneuver through the defense. In the 34th minute, Diedrik Van Mechelen got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 35th minute, Malte Schiele hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Stephan Vanneste scored 0-5 in the 41st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Tommy Kahn, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jérémy Doku in the 44th minute of play forced Germany's goalkeeper Tommy Kahn to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 45 minutes Germany's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Diedrik Van Mechelen who took care of the corner kick. Kieth Hacke was in a good position and managed to take a shot, but he missed just to the outside of the post. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-5 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Jérémy Doku made a kick off. Tommy Kahn stood somewhat misplaced when Jérémy Doku came free in front of goal and shot 0-6 to the left of him in the 55 minute. Jérémy Dokus short, quick shot in the 58thth minute got Tommy Kahn to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. In the 59th minute Stephan Vanneste 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. Germany's Tommy Kahn played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Jérémy Doku in the 60th minute of play. Ulan Bator Football Club's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Diedrik Van Mechelen in the 67th minute. The corner went over the outstretched arms of Germany's goalie and right to Albert De Roover. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Germany's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. Kieth Hacke might have been able to make a better finish in the 70th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Tommy Kahn. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Kieth Hacke ran back to his position shaking his head. The audience thought a goal was coming when Jérémy Doku got free with Tommy Kahn in the 72nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. 75 minutes into the match, Germany's Albin Holweck sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Ball Packert narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Albin Holweck sent away a hard shot on goal in the 78th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a rather tough play, Germany's Adrian Dreifuss got a free kick in the 81st minute. Ulan Bator Football Club made a substitution. Toon Teunens replaced Jérémy Doku. Adrian Dreifuss kicked well hit freekick during the 83rd minute of the match. Germany's Tommy Kahn proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 84th minute of the match, managed to save Germany from getting a goal against them. 84 minutes into the game, Toon Teunens recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Tommy Kahn. Toon Teunens showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-8. Diedrik Van Mechelen could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 96th minute of the match, but Tommy Kahn made a huge save. Ulan Bator Football Club's fans were overjoyed with their teams well-earned victory and stayed in the stadium long after the final whistle to celebrate the win.
