Spectators: 39 (Terracing: 30, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Killian Fischer took the kick off in the first half of the match. The audience thought a goal was coming when Axel Habig got free with Natalio Basualdo in the 19th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. The referee felt a red card was in order, 25 minutes into the game, when Geraldo Velloso put in a rough tackle. When the match had been going on for 27 minutes, PoWer SC 2K5's Killian Fischer got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Natalio Basualdo. Paolo Gartzi recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 30th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 33 minutes into the match, PoWer SC 2K5's goal looked a bit too open when Paolo Gartzi came free, but Dieter Ringel reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. GangsTaz F. C.'s Natalio Basualdo proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 39th minute of the match, managed to save GangsTaz F. C. from getting a goal against them. 42 minutes into the game, Axel Habig recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Natalio Basualdo. Axel Habig showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 3-0. Anibal Dolfo's late challenge caught a PoWer SC 2K5's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Anibal Dolfo helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of PoWer SC 2K5 booed when GangsTaz F. C. was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 46 match minutes in a wonderful position. Anibal Dolfo didn't get a good kick on the ball. The audience thought a goal was coming when Manuel Klose got free with Natalio Basualdo in the 48th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 3-0.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Paolo Gartzi to strike the kick off in the second half. Urbano Claus hit a great freekick 57 minutes into the match. Natalio Basualdo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Michael Götze, who was totally free with the ball in the 58th minute. Paolo Gartzi might have been able to make a better finish in the 68th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Dieter Ringel. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Paolo Gartzi ran back to his position shaking his head. An unexpectedly hard shot by Josef Ziebig in the 71st minute of play forced GangsTaz F. C.'s goalkeeper Natalio Basualdo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 72nd minute Axel Habig shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Natalio Basualdo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a rather tough play, PoWer SC 2K5's Killian Fischer got a free kick in the 78th minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 79th minute, Paolo Gartzi managed to get in a good position for a shot. GangsTaz F. C.'s supporters rose to their feet, but Paolo Gartzi was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Dieter Ringel breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When Paolo Gartzi fell near the penalty area in the 82nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored GangsTaz F. C.'s protests and gave Paolo Gartzi a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, GangsTaz F. C.'s Paolo Gartzi got a free kick in the 82nd minute. 85 minutes into the match, Manuel Klose had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Natalio Basualdo. GangsTaz F. C.'s manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Manuel Klose was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 4-0. GangsTaz F. C.'s Paolo Gartzi got a good chance for a goal in the 89th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. GangsTaz F. C.'s Natalio Basualdo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Killian Fischer in the 93rd minute of play. PoWer SC 2K5 walked away with a well-earned victory that was much celebrated by the crowd.
