Spectators: 5737 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1737, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play.

After 17 played minutes, Kurdistan United's Jossip Roemer shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Anton Korbel 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 Kurdistan United reached it. Ulrich Bowermann didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Stefano Breitling-Becker went, in the 18th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-0 was the resulting score. 22 minutes into the match, Thorsten Meister had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Ulrich Bowermann.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Stefano Breitling-Becker couldn't finish the play. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.
