Spectators: 5001 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 1) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Uffe Nölting started the match with the kick off. After 5 minutes, Philipp Knop mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the SV Neustadt-Pelzerhaken and the OFK Bratstvo players grew even worse after the yellow card. SV Neustadt-Pelzerhaken's Clint Dujic managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Yannis Hoss in the 15 minute of the game. Paulus Stehr kicked well hit freekick during the 25th minute of the match. Fred Krotz might have been able to make a better finish in the 34th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Helko Meisl. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Fred Krotz ran back to his position shaking his head. The supporters of OFK Bratstvo booed when SV Neustadt-Pelzerhaken was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 36 match minutes in a wonderful position. Claus Hänsch didn't get a good kick on the ball. A collision led to OFK Bratstvo getting a freekick after 39 minutes play. Gerrit Dörfler hit a great ball. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 0-0 after a close first half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Philipp Knop to make the kick off. After 54 minutes, Günther Thierse mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the SV Neustadt-Pelzerhaken and the OFK Bratstvo players grew even worse after the yellow card. Jork Bechtle took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 55th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Helko Meisl. SV Neustadt-Pelzerhaken's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. When Günther Thierse was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 58 minutes had been played. In the 59th minute, Günther Thierse hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. With his leg Helko Meisl managed to avoid a goal in the 67thth minute, when OFK Bratstvo's Uffe Nölting fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. After some fancy dribbling in the 73rd minute, Claus Hänsch managed to get in a good position for a shot. SV Neustadt-Pelzerhaken's supporters rose to their feet, but Claus Hänsch was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ayman Klopp breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. OFK Bratstvo made a substitution. Marcus Conz replaced Peer Oldenburg. When Fred Krotz came up free with the goalie in the 76th minute, the OFK Bratstvo 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 Fred Krotz couldn't finish the play. Helko Meisl made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Fred Krotz in the 78th minute of play. Battista Radunski's late challenge caught a SV Neustadt-Pelzerhaken's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Battista Radunski helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to OFK Bratstvo getting a freekick after 87 minutes play. Battista Radunski hit a great ball. Björn Kahn hit a great freekick 95 minutes into the match. When the referee blew the final whistle, you could see the dissatisfaction in the SV Neustadt-Pelzerhaken players' eyes. They were disappointed they hadn't taken more from the game.
