The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Amir Müller took the ball and in the 5 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Lucio Bartel. Lucio Bartel dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-0. After a defensive mix-up in TSV Waldbach's zone, Ulfert Noffz stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Lucio Bartel came out of the goal and Ulfert Noffz tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 12 minutes into the game, Mattes Sylvester cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-1. Christian Heinrich was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. 15 minutes into the match, Larry Riepert had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Christian Heinrich. Gestewitz's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Larry Riepert was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2.
