After 7th play minutes Corrado Patricelli shot 1-0, a short shot which went by Tommy Kahn and just under the crossbar into goal. With a little luck, Germany's Tommy Kahn got control of the ball when Alessandro Barillari tried to sneak it across the goal line. Alessandro Barillari did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 2-0 to the left of a surprised Tommy Kahn 13 minutes into the match. In the 24th minute Frank Sachs shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cristiano Lancia saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 25th minute Germany were awarded a corner. Frank Sachs went to the cornerflag to take it. After taking down the ball on Germany's corner Frank Sachs fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Cristiano Lancia quite easily take care of the ball. Tommy Kahn took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Alessandro Barillari, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 33 minutes into the game, Corrado Pantani was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Real Kikkabu's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Germany the free kick. Germany's defense didn't have a chance, in the 39th minute, when Alessandro Barillari scored to the left of an out of position Tommy Kahn, making the score, 3-1. In the 47th minute, Frank Sachs ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Cristiano Lancia was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-2.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Frank Sachs to strike the kick off in the second half. Adrian Dreifuss hit a great freekick 55 minutes into the match. In the 58th minute of the match Real Kikkabu got a corner. Germany's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Filippo Del Grosso ran over to the corner to take the kick. Real Kikkabu's Filippo Del Grosso was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Tommy Kahn in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. 60 minutes into the match, Real Kikkabu's goalkeeper Cristiano Lancia had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Frank Sachs. Cristiano Lancia made a fantastic save in the 66th minute, when Frank Sachs sent off a good shot on target. Corrado Patricelli might have been able to make a better finish in the 76th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Tommy Kahn. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Corrado Patricelli ran back to his position shaking his head. After 77 played minutes Germany got a freekick which was hit by Sven Krakouer. Real Kikkabu's Biagio Fortunato got a good chance for a goal in the 78th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Frank Sachs had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Tommy Kahn stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Alessandro Barillari's shot from short distance in the 94th minute. Tommy Kahn showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Alessandro Barillari, who was totally free with the ball in the 95th minute. After a rather tough play, Real Kikkabu's Corrado Pantani got a free kick in the 97th minute. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered when the referee blew the final whistle. Real Kikkabu had won after a very even match.
