Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Società Vigata Calcio's Fabricio Larpe started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Fabricio Larpe hit a great freekick 2 minutes into the match. Barnaba Kajder 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. Fabricio Larpe who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 8thth minute tested the skills of Tommy Kahn when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Frank Sachs took the ball and in the 10 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Saverio Bilbo. Saverio Bilbo dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. Tommy Kahn made a fantastic save in the 13th minute, when Vito Corleone sent off a good shot on target. Ruben Astigar charged in rather forcefully in the 14th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Ruben Astigar the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 14 played minutes Società Vigata Calcio got a freekick which was hit by Ruben Astigar. 15 minutes into the match, Società Vigata Calcio's goal looked a bit too open when Frank Sachs came free, but Saverio Bilbo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 21 minutes, Fabricio Larpe made it 1-1 with a short kick to the right side. Germany's Tommy Kahn tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. 24 minutes into the match, Società Vigata Calcio's Fabricio Larpe sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Tommy Kahn narrowly saved just below the crossbar. If Frank Sachs had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. The audience was convinced that Fabricio Larpe's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Tommy Kahn was relentless in the 28th minute of the game. 31 minutes had been played when some careless play by Germany's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Carter Picozzi was slow to take the kick. During this time Società Vigata Calcio's players had a chance to rest. Fabricio Larpe sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Albin Holweck sent away a hard shot on goal in the 35th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Società Vigata Calcio's Saverio Bilbo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Frank Sachs in the 40th minute of play. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Frank Sachs made a kick off. Frank Sachs struck a weak shot in the 60th minute. Saverio Bilbo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Germany. When the match clock showed 61 minutes, the score became 2-1 when Barnaba Kajder sped through Germany's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Tommy Kahn. In the 64th match minute, Società Vigata Calcio was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Luis Abramovich to maneuver through the defense.

The supporters of Società Vigata Calcio booed when Germany was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 66 match minutes in a wonderful position. Adrian Dreifuss didn't get a good kick on the ball. Saverio Bilbo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Frank Sachs, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Tommy Kahn showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Carter Picozzi in the 69th minute of the match. 71 minutes into the match, Fabricio Larpe 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 Fabricio Larpe was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-1. After some fancy dribbling in the 75th minute, Frank Sachs managed to get in a good position for a shot. Germany's supporters rose to their feet, but Frank Sachs was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Saverio Bilbo breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After a rather tough play, Società Vigata Calcio's Ruben Astigar got a free kick in the 78th minute. After 82 minutes of play, Società Vigata Calcio's Vito Corleone made it 4-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Tommy Kahn was left in no man's land by his defense there! There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Società Vigata Calcio fully deserved thier win.
