Spectators: 6600 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1500, VIP seats: 100) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Benjamin Kilic made the kick off which started today's match. Torsten Bankewitz could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 5th minute of the match, but Karsten Hußmann made a huge save. If Jonathan Mut had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Henrik Langbein showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Luis Gistl in the 9th minute of the match. In the 12th minute, Helmut Nadel hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 12 minutes into the match, SPORT LISBOA E BENFICA's Axel Kiefer broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. Benjamin Kilic received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 16th minute. Karsten Hußmann tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Luis Gistl received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 22nd minute. Henrik Langbein tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Luis Gistl came up free with the goalie in the 29th minute, the SPORT LISBOA E BENFICA 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 Luis Gistl couldn't finish the play. Philipp Kucharczyk blasted a shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Henrik Langbein having to make a save. After 45 played minutes SPORT LISBOA E BENFICA got a freekick which was hit by Luis Gistl. The first half was very even, with the score at 0-0 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Philipp Kucharczyk made a kick off. After having played for 52 minutes, Torsten Bankewitz managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Mittersberg's supporters crossed their fingers, but Torsten Bankewitz was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The supporters of Mittersberg booed when SPORT LISBOA E BENFICA was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 55 match minutes in a wonderful position. Luis Gistl didn't get a good kick on the ball. After recieving a nice pass, SPORT LISBOA E BENFICA's Axel Kiefer tried to score from far away in the 57th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. In the 61st minute, Philipp Kucharczyk fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Henrik Langbein, passed just outside the right post. An unexpectedly hard shot by Philipp Kucharczyk in the 64th minute of play forced Mittersberg's goalkeeper Henrik Langbein to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Achim Nachtwei fell near the penalty area in the 65th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Mittersberg's protests and gave Achim Nachtwei a yellow card for diving instead. With his leg Henrik Langbein managed to avoid a goal in the 73rdth minute, when SPORT LISBOA E BENFICA's Luis Gistl fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Mittersberg's Henrik Langbein proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 76th minute of the match, managed to save Mittersberg from getting a goal against them. 78 minutes into the game, Philipp Kucharczyk recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Henrik Langbein. Philipp Kucharczyk showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 0-2. The SPORT LISBOA E BENFICA fans' excitement grew in the 84th match minute when SPORT LISBOA E BENFICA's Luis Gistl looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-3 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. 97 minutes into the match, Mittersberg's goal looked a bit too open when Jonathan Mut came free, but Henrik Langbein reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Jonathan Mut had several of the Mittersberg's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 98 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 0-6 score and a disappointed Henrik Langbein as he didn't even see the shot coming. SPORT LISBOA E BENFICA played a much better game than Mittersberg and deserved their victory. The Mittersberg players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
