Red Bullos Arena
Spectators: 7620 (Terracing: 5716, Seating: 1752, VIP seats: 152) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Raphael Dickopf started the match with the kick off. After 10 minutes, Daniel Vitz mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the tarló and the Red Bullos players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, tarló's Daniel Vitz got a free kick in the 10th minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 11th minute, Philipp Theunissen managed to get in a good position for a shot. Red Bullos's supporters rose to their feet, but Philipp Theunissen was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Steve Gerber breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 17th minute, Raphael Dickopf hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Steve Gerber took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Pietari Viitanen, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The supporters of Red Bullos booed when tarló was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 32 match minutes in a wonderful position. Boris Faller didn't get a good kick on the ball. Raphael Dickopf's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Steve Gerber read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 33rd minute of play. Arend Bahlke showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Johann Grünewald in the 48th minute of the match. Af the end of the first half the score was 1-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Dustin Igelmann to make the kick off. When Philipp Theunissen came up free with the goalie in the 58th minute, the Red Bullos 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 Philipp Theunissen couldn't finish the play. Pietari Viitanen fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 62nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Steve Gerber having to interfere. Czeslaw Prosowski hit a great freekick 63 minutes into the match. Steve Gerber came out of the goal in the 67th minute to try and stop a shot by Red Bullos's Pietari Viitanen. But to his dismay, Pietari Viitanen quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-1. Steve Gerber made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Pietari Viitanen in the 69th minute of play. In the 72nd match minute, tarló was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Peter Neoral to maneuver through the defense. In the 75th minute Dustin Igelmann shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Arend Bahlke saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Raphael Dickopf in the 78th minute of play forced tarló's goalkeeper Steve Gerber to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After having played for 83 minutes, Raphael Dickopf managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Red Bullos's supporters crossed their fingers, but Raphael Dickopf was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Steve Gerber showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Philipp Theunissen in the 85th minute of the match. Arend Bahlke showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Dustin Igelmann, who was totally free with the ball in the 93rd minute. 95 minutes into the match, tarló's Dustin Igelmann sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Arend Bahlke narrowly saved just below the crossbar. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Red Bullos had played much better football throughout.
