Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Rudolf Schott started the match with the kick off. In the 6th minute, 1.FC Mehlesdorf's Hasso Gölz seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Hasso Gölz the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of 1.FC Mehlesdorf protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Hasso Gölz had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. In the 11th minute Andi Heiske shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Benny Wedig saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A collision led to Limperich getting a freekick after 13 minutes play. Rainier Tönnies hit a great ball.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Thorsten Reisner in the 37th minute of play forced Limperich's goalkeeper Sepp Holthausen to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Lennert Löbe's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Benny Wedig firmly grabbed it by the left post. Sepp Holthausen took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Rudolf Schott, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.
