Spectators: 7973 (Terracing: 5981, Seating: 1834, VIP seats: 158) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Tim-Oliver Mayrhofer got the match started through his kick off. With his leg Mario Grebe managed to avoid a goal in the 14thth minute, when Karamázov's Pablo Blai fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. In the 15th minute Tim-Oliver Mayrhofer shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Moises Remigio saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Rogelio Galo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 36th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Karamázov's Moises Remigio played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tim-Oliver Mayrhofer in the 41st minute of play. In the 45th match minute, Karamázov was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Everardo Etor to maneuver through the defense. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Pablo Blai made a kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Benjamin Eckstein in the 57th minute of play forced Karamázov's goalkeeper Moises Remigio to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 58 minutes into the match, Benjamin Eckstein had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Moises Remigio. Karamázov's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Benjamin Eckstein was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. After a rather tough play, International Thunders's Benjamin Eckstein got a free kick in the 66th minute. If Tim-Oliver Mayrhofer had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Karamázov's Pablo Blai got a good chance for a goal in the 73rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Tim-Oliver Mayrhofer fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 79th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Moises Remigio having to interfere. After some careless play in the Karamázov defense, Tobi Pircher kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Moises Remigio. The Karamázov fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Moises Remigio should have stopped the shot. After a rather tough play, International Thunders's Tobi Pircher got a free kick in the 86th minute. Tim-Oliver Mayrhofer took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 97th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Moises Remigio. Karamázov's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. The Karamázov fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. International Thunders were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
