Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Simon Hospelt kicked off to start the match. After 4 minutes, Tammo Ringel mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Raubling and the Walsrode players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 3rd minute, one of Raubling:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Raubling. The crowd rose to their feet as Raubling's Balthasar Schwehr slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Markus Markau. That made the score 1-1 after 12 minutes of play. Johannes Richter charged in rather forcefully in the 14th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Johannes Richter the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, Raubling's Johannes Richter got a free kick in the 14th minute. After having played for 16 minutes, Simon Hospelt managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Walsrode's supporters crossed their fingers, but Simon Hospelt was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Markus Markau acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 19th minute, took the ball on the long shot from Tammo Ringel. 24 minutes into the game, Brian Vollmar was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Raubling's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Walsrode the free kick. In the 24th minute, Brian Vollmar hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. A collision led to Walsrode getting a freekick after 25 minutes play. Jonas Andrade hit a great ball. If Balthasar Schwehr had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 34th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Balthasar Schwehr made a kick off. 55 minutes into the match, Walsrode's goal looked a bit too open when Mirko Strachowitz came free, but Markus Markau reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Markus Markau showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Balthasar Schwehr in the 57th minute of the match. Nicolas Liebig was out of position in the 61 minute of play, and Simon Hospelt capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Simon Hospelt really showed his touch with that goal: 1-2. After some fancy dribbling in the 65th minute, Simon Hospelt managed to get in a good position for a shot. Walsrode's supporters rose to their feet, but Simon Hospelt was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Nicolas Liebig breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Heiko Gharibian's late challenge caught a Raubling's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Heiko Gharibian helped the player get up and apologised. Heiko Gharibian kicked well hit freekick during the 69th minute of the match. Markus Markau showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Brian Vollmar in the 74th minute of the match. In the 79th minute Johannes Richter shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Markus Markau saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpected shot in the 89th minute by Simon Hospelt got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. Johannes Richter was shown his second yellow card after 90 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. The supporters of Walsrode booed when Raubling was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 90 match minutes in a wonderful position. Johannes Richter didn't get a good kick on the ball.
