Fighters Stadion
Spectators: 7598 (Terracing: 5700, Seating: 1747, VIP seats: 151) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Alvise Micucci started the match with the kick off. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Alvise Micucci in the 11th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Matthew Jastrzembowski saved Hamburg Fighters from getting behind. Bisturi F.C.'s Amos Fata was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Matthew Jastrzembowski in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Emanuele Donadoni showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Burkhard Niebler in the 15th minute of the match. Bernd Schimmel received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 17th minute. Emanuele Donadoni tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 18th minute, Armin Motta hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Alvise Micucci kicked well hit freekick during the 19th minute of the match. 20 minutes into the match, Burkhard Niebler dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Emanuele Donadoni, 1-0. In the 25th minute, Burkhard Niebler ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Emanuele Donadoni was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-0. 33 minutes into the match, Cosimo Gaeta notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of Hamburg Fighters's Matthew Jastrzembowski. Matthew Jastrzembowski was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. If Cosimo Gaeta had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 43 minutes into the match, Burkhard Niebler had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Emanuele Donadoni. Bisturi F.C.'s manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Burkhard Niebler was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-1. After 47 played minutes Bisturi F.C. got a freekick which was hit by Armin Motta. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 3-1 at half-time.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Burkhard Niebler to strike the kick off in the second half. The supporters of Hamburg Fighters booed when Bisturi F.C. was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 52 match minutes in a wonderful position. Alvise Micucci didn't get a good kick on the ball. Walt Schräder sent away a hard shot on goal in the 54th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. After a rather tough play, Hamburg Fighters's Rudolf Aschenbrenner got a free kick in the 61st minute. Alphonso Davies got a throw-in 63 minutes in the game and the ball was received by Berti Stand. After 70 minutes, Alfredo Oroni mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Bisturi F.C. and the Hamburg Fighters players grew even worse after the yellow card. A hard and well directed shot from Berti Stand led 71 minutes into the game to a goal after the ball had bounced deceptively just in front of the goal. Bisturi F.C.'s Emanuele Donadoni became a little unsure and couldn't grip the ball before it was over the goalline. Thus it was 4-1. Comunardo Del Monte hit a great freekick 75 minutes into the match. Emanuele Donadoni came out of the goal in the 80th minute to try and stop a shot by Hamburg Fighters's Walt Schräder. But to his dismay, Walt Schräder quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 5-1. Alvise Micucci kicked well hit freekick during the 95th minute of the match. Emanuele Donadoni took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Burkhard Niebler, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Hamburg Fighters's supporters were delighted with their team's performance and swarmed onto the pitch at the end of the match to celebrate the victory with the players.
