Field of Despair
Spectators: 7506 (Terracing: 5630, Seating: 1726, VIP seats: 150) Möhnsen FC's Béla Strothmann started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. 5 minutes into the match, Béla Strothmann had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Nel Gutierrez. Hispania's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Béla Strothmann was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. After some careless play in the Hispania defense, Béla Strothmann kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Nel Gutierrez. The Hispania fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Nel Gutierrez should have stopped the shot. Cordero Sánchez scored 2-1 in the 25th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Benedikt Lettinger, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Veto Jareño hit a great freekick 27 minutes into the match. 29 minutes into the game, Béla Strothmann cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 3-1.

Pascal Bommer kicked well hit freekick during the 40th minute of the match. Benedikt Lettinger showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Cordero Sánchez in the 41st minute of the match.

But to his dismay, Viviano Soto quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-2. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 3-2.

The wind increased when Viviano Soto made the kick off in the second half. After having played for 57 minutes, Viviano Soto managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Hispania's supporters crossed their fingers, but Viviano Soto was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The crowd rose to their feet as Hispania's Viviano Soto slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Benedikt Lettinger. That made the score 3-3 after 60 minutes of play. When the match had gone on for 63 minutes, Viviano Soto put it in 3-4 from a short distance just to the right of Benedikt Lettinger. Benedikt Lettinger made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Viviano Soto in the 68th minute of play. If Armando Valenti had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 70th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
