Waldemar Jesse fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 8th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Paul Sass having to interfere.

Till Erkelenz was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Klein Villah's Till Erkelenz played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Michael Beich in the 23rd minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 24th minute, Eduard Geisler managed to get in a good position for a shot. Klein Villah's supporters rose to their feet, but Eduard Geisler was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Paul Sass breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 30th minute Waldemar Jesse shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Paul Sass saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Klein Villah's zone, Michael Beich stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Till Erkelenz came out of the goal and Michael Beich tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Paul Sass took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Waldemar Jesse, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Waldemar Jesse recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 40th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. William Lukas blasted a shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Paul Sass having to make a save. Klein Villah's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Peter Roth in the 47th minute. Peter Roth made a great header on Klein Villah's corner, it was just that Kolonie Hünzingen FC's Paul Sass managed to reach the ball for a save.
