Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Bodo Blüthmann kicked off to start the match. Bodo Blüthmann's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Morten Kriwat read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 7th minute of play. Bodo Blüthmann sent away a hard shot on goal in the 8th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Benedikt Hecht received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 11th minute. Hark Limburg tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Benedikt Hecht struck a weak shot in the 13th minute. Hark Limburg didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Mühlenrott. After a defensive mix-up in Mühlenrott's zone, Eddi Walleitner stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Morten Kriwat came out of the goal and Eddi Walleitner tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Morten Kriwat made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Bodo Blüthmann in the 18th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Mühlenrott's Hans-Martin Räder got a free kick in the 20th minute. If Eddi Walleitner had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 21st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 24th minute, Eddi Walleitner made a precise shot to the right of Morten Kriwat. Mühlenrott's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-0. When the match clock showed 33 minutes, the score became 1-1 when Udo Melcher sped through Scharberg's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Hark Limburg. Eddi Walleitner sent away a hard shot on goal in the 39th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Eddi Walleitner in the 41stth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Morten Kriwat, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Bodo Blüthmann received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 43rd minute. Morten Kriwat tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Benedikt Hecht was the one to do the kick off. After a rather tough play, Mühlenrott's Bosko Galeski got a free kick in the 51st minute. In the 53rd minute Bodo Blüthmann shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Morten Kriwat saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Bodo Blüthmann sent away a hard shot on goal in the 55th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Eddi Walleitner in the 56th minute of play forced Mühlenrott's goalkeeper Morten Kriwat to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a rather tough play, Scharberg's Emil Geiger got a free kick in the 61st minute. Reinhold Dickhut was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 62nd played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. 64 minutes into the match, Scharberg's goal looked a bit too open when Benedikt Hecht came free, but Hark Limburg reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 66 played minutes Scharberg got a freekick which was hit by Bodo Blüthmann. When Udo Melcher came up free with the goalie in the 69th minute, the Mühlenrott fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Udo Melcher couldn't finish the play. When the match had gone on for 71 minutes, Benedikt Hecht took a quick shot and it went in 1-2 without a chance for Hark Limburg to make any attempt to save it. Hark Limburg made a fantastic save in the 77th minute, when Udo Melcher sent off a good shot on target. Morten Kriwat showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Eddi Walleitner, who was totally free with the ball in the 81st minute. 82 minutes into the match, Udo Melcher notched a goal, 1-3, to the right of Scharberg's Hark Limburg. Hark Limburg was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 89 minutes into the match, Bodo Blüthmann had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Morten Kriwat. Mühlenrott's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Bodo Blüthmann was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-3. The Scharberg supporters were disappointed that their team didn't take anything from the match, despite matching Mühlenrott's performance. The match ended with a win for Mühlenrott.
