Spectators: 155 (Terracing: 117, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Grant Danes took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 2nd minute, Erkan Kempkes made a precise shot to the right of Agustin Rossi. Ombu's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. Xabat Acedo took the ball and in the 6 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Agustin Rossi. Agustin Rossi dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-2. If Valentin Lidon had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 9th minute of the match, Valentin Lidon got a very nice opportunity to score, but Sepp Meier was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. The throw-in from Lukas Mai in the 10th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Ombu's Godfredo Mendez. After some fancy dribbling in the 11th minute, Valentin Lidon managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ombu's supporters rose to their feet, but Valentin Lidon was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Sepp Meier breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Valentin Lidon fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 14th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Sepp Meier having to interfere. Valentin Lidon received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 16th minute. Sepp Meier tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Godfredo Mendez hit a great freekick 21 minutes into the match. The supporters of Ombu booed when SC Night Cats was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 23 match minutes in a wonderful position. Berthold Wüsthoff didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 26 minutes of play, Ombu's Valentin Lidon made it 1-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Sepp Meier was left in no man's land by his defense there! With a couple of smart ball manuevers Stefan Halbich in the 30th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Agustin Rossi saved Ombu from getting behind. After a rather tough play, Ombu's Epifanio Giraldo got a free kick in the 32nd minute. If Valentin Lidon had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 38th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Sepp Meier showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Valentin Lidon in the 38th minute of the match. In the 43rd minute, Joshua Kimmich hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Jeremias Ugaitz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 44th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Ombu's Frans Lundgren was substituted for Valentin Lidon. After the first half SC Night Cats were leading 1-3. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Xabat Acedo was the one to do the kick off. Joseph Brinkmann recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 52nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Ombu's Pinkus Aspvik managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Lukas Mai in the 57 minute of the game. Xabat Acedo could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 61st minute of the match, but Agustin Rossi made a huge save. Agustín Martegani received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 65th minute. Sepp Meier tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ombu's Eusebio Cordarrel was substituted for Godfredo Mendez. Sepp Meier took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Agustín Martegani, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Joseph Brinkmann received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Agustin Rossi came out and tried to block the shot, but Joseph Brinkmann slotted it home off the left post making it 1-4 in the 69th minute. Agustin Rossi made a fantastic save in the 73rd minute, when Xabat Acedo sent off a good shot on target. 74 minutes into the match, Ombu's goalkeeper Agustin Rossi had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Xabat Acedo. An unexpectedly hard shot by Frans Lundgren in the 83rd minute of play forced SC Night Cats's goalkeeper Sepp Meier to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The corner ended in Frans Lundgren almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but SC Night Cats's Sepp Meier did a great save. In the 90th minute, Stefan Halbich ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Agustin Rossi was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-5. 96 minutes into the match, SC Night Cats's goal looked a bit too open when Grant Danes came free, but Sepp Meier reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 98th minute Grant Danes shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sepp Meier saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 100th minute of the match Ombu got a corner. SC Night Cats's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Jeremias Ugaitz ran over to the corner to take the kick. The corner first didn't look so dangerous but when Eusebio Cordarrel got the ball he succeeded in some way to get through the defenders to deliver a very hard score. Result 2-5. 100 minutes into the match.
