Schönhof
Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Wolf-Rüdiger Voßhoff took the kick off in the first half of the match. 11 minutes into the match, 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig's Sven Baur sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Ken Leitner narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Dominik Bakkers short, quick shot in the 17thth minute got Engelbert Wank to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. When Sven Baur came up free with the goalie in the 21st minute, the 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig 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 Sven Baur couldn't finish the play. The supporters of 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig booed when Schönhof was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 23 match minutes in a wonderful position. Janek Winkelmann didn't get a good kick on the ball. Engelbert Wank showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Heiko Schommer in the 28th minute of the match. Edwin Steinkopf kicked well hit freekick during the 32nd minute of the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 42nd minute, Heiko Schommer managed to get in a good position for a shot. Schönhof's supporters rose to their feet, but Heiko Schommer was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Engelbert Wank breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. With a little luck, 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig's Engelbert Wank got control of the ball when Dominik Bakker tried to sneak it across the goal line. 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. Heiko Schommer was the one to do the kick off. In the 52nd minute, Heiko Schommer 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. Dominik Bakker fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 56th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Engelbert Wank having to interfere. The audience thought a goal was coming when Sven Baur got free with Ken Leitner in the 61st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After a rather tough play, Schönhof's Volker Hog-Heidel got a free kick in the 73rd minute. Dominik Bakker blasted a shot towards the goal in the 76th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Engelbert Wank having to make a save. Heiko Schommer sent away a hard shot on goal in the 77th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 82 minutes, Pat Neubrandt mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig and the Schönhof players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 83rd minute of the match Volker Hog-Heidel shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Engelbert Wank showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. After a defensive mix-up in 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig's zone, Dominik Bakker stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Engelbert Wank came out of the goal and Dominik Bakker tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.
