The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Timur Matt stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 53 minutes into the match, SV Ballers's Hardy Bannert broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. After 55 played minutes, SV Ballers's Hinnerk Bracht shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Ricky Kuckhoff 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 SV Ballers reached it. Robert Gielchen made in the 57th minute of the game a quick throw-in and Josip Braner immediately put the ball in play. If Timur Matt had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 59th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After a defensive mix-up in Irmenach FSV's zone, Raoul Spanner stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

After a rather tough play, SV Ballers's Veit Gebuhr got a free kick in the 63rd minute. Hardy Bannert struck a weak shot in the 66th minute. Ricky Kuckhoff didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for SV Ballers. After 75 minutes of play, Irmenach FSV's Rudolf Reisinger made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.
