Sportpark Franzburg
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Lucas Schneider took the kick off in the first half of the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 8th minute, Fabien Reuter managed to get in a good position for a shot. Traktor Franzburg's supporters rose to their feet, but Fabien Reuter was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Reineke Saefkow breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Fabien Reuter had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Fabien Reuter in the 14th minute of play forced Eßbach FSV's goalkeeper Reineke Saefkow to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When the match had gone on for 24 minutes, Lucas Schneider put it in 0-2 from a short distance just to the right of Oswald Klamt. In the 27th minute, Theo Kage got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. If Fabien Reuter had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Eßbach FSV's Reineke Saefkow proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 31st minute of the match, managed to save Eßbach FSV from getting a goal against them. Fabien Reuter received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 32nd minute. Reineke Saefkow tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Fabien Reuter sent away a hard shot on goal in the 36th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 38 minutes into the match, Lucas Schneider notched a goal, 0-3, to the right of Traktor Franzburg's Oswald Klamt. Oswald Klamt was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 44th minute Fabien Reuter shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Reineke Saefkow saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Fabien Reuter stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. If Fabien Reuter had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 52nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. A collision led to Eßbach FSV getting a freekick after 53 minutes play. Marten Humpe hit a great ball. The supporters of Traktor Franzburg booed when Eßbach FSV was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 55 match minutes in a wonderful position. Leo Aswald didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 56 played minutes, Traktor Franzburg's Torsten Schaumlöffel shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Reineke Saefkow came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Traktor Franzburg reached it. Oswald Klamt made a fantastic save in the 59th minute, when Theo Kage sent off a good shot on target. Daniel Hebel recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 60th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The audience was convinced that Fabien Reuter's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Reineke Saefkow was relentless in the 64th minute of the game. Fabien Reuter received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 66th minute. Reineke Saefkow tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 67 minutes into the game, Thomas Grond was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Eßbach FSV's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Traktor Franzburg the free kick. Reineke Saefkow took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Daniel Hebel, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 71stth minute of the game Fabien Reuter who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Eßbach FSV's Reineke Saefkow was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. When Daniel Hebel came up free with the goalie in the 75th minute, the Traktor Franzburg 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 Daniel Hebel couldn't finish the play. Leo Aswald received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 79th minute. Oswald Klamt tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Daniel Hebel might have been able to make a better finish in the 81st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Reineke Saefkow. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Daniel Hebel ran back to his position shaking his head. After some careless play in the Eßbach FSV defense, Fabien Reuter kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Reineke Saefkow. The Eßbach FSV fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Reineke Saefkow should have stopped the shot. After 89 played minutes Lucas Schneider rounded Traktor Franzburg's defense and shot a beautiful shot into goal via left pole - 1-4. Theo Kage succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 1-5 in the 94th playminute. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Eßbach FSV eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
