Yasser Arafat
Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Frank Sachs started the match with the kick off. After 6 minutes, Segundo Calvino mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the CA Intifada Palestina and the Germany players grew even worse after the yellow card. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 5th minute of the game. One of CA Intifada Palestina:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Germany:s goal. Germany's Tommy Kahn played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Bruno Peyo in the 7th minute of play. Adrian Dreifuss charged in rather forcefully in the 16th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Adrian Dreifuss the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 16th minute, Adrian Dreifuss hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Ferdinando Galván scored 3-0 in the 17th 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. Israel Beremundo recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 25th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Inocencio Sedeni's late challenge caught a Germany's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Inocencio Sedeni helped the player get up and apologised. Inocencio Sedeni kicked well hit freekick during the 32nd minute of the match. Frank Sachs struck a weak shot in the 32nd minute. Leon Aznaro didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Germany. Leon Aznaro made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Frank Sachs in the 34th minute of play. Frank Sachs struck a weak shot in the 37th minute. Leon Aznaro didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Germany. Tommy Kahn showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bruno Peyo, who was totally free with the ball in the 39th minute. Ferdinando Galváns short, quick shot in the 41stth minute got Tommy Kahn to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. In the 43rd minute Frank Sachs shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Leon Aznaro saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 44 minutes into the match, Germany's goal looked a bit too open when Ferdinando Galván came free, but Tommy Kahn reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Bruno Peyo made a kick off. 53 minutes into the match, CA Intifada Palestina's goal looked a bit too open when Albin Holweck came free, but Leon Aznaro reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Germany's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Frank Sachs in the 54th minute. Omar Ubelteso tried in the 54th minute to hit away a contribution but miss-kicked the ball which ended up in his own goal and left an unhappy Leon Aznaro a with quite unnecessary self made goal. Result 4-1. In the 59th minute, Janik Vogt hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Chris Mergenthaler hit a great freekick 67 minutes into the match. After 68 played minutes, CA Intifada Palestina's Israel Beremundo shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Tommy Kahn came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in CA Intifada Palestina reached it. 72 minutes into the match, Israel Beremundo notched a goal, 5-1, to the right of Germany's Tommy Kahn. Tommy Kahn was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. If Frank Sachs had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 79th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 84th minute, Bruno Peyo ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Tommy Kahn was frozen by the shot and now it was 7-1. Bruno Peyo took the ball and in the 91 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 8-1. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Justino Valery in the 96th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Tommy Kahn saved Germany from getting behind. There was no doubt that CA Intifada Palestina were the better team. CA Intifada Palestina's players enjoyed the ovations of the crowd after the victory.
