Clouds darkened the skies at SuperDome of Surprise [S-O-S] as 29000 spectators turned up for the match.

The following players took the field: van der Ploeg - Lennartsson, Taherkhan, Ronteltap - Negri, Teufl, Navarro, Nimptsch - Stössel, Sastre, Mittermann.

Pommern decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Wallaschek - Lütte, Oettl, Jeritza - Iciar, Dennerlein, Nafzinger, Heumel, Preisler - Kirchmann, Gerdstedt.

Today, BallsportlerInnen's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. BallsportlerInnen had to make a substitution after 9 minutes. Á. Navarro limped off the field and was replaced by D. Dipold. P. Lennartsson sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from S. Negri after 13 minutes of play, making the score 1 - 0. Attacking on the wings was the choice for BallsportlerInnen, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. BallsportlerInnen increased the lead as S. Sastre struck to make the score 2 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. R. Stössel should probably have put his team up another goal after 26 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by W. Wallaschek kept the visitors in the game. 2 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by BallsportlerInnen, with 60 percent of the ball.

A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in BallsportlerInnen's K. Teufl increasing the lead to 3 - 0. Confident in their lead, BallsportlerInnen's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. There was concern in the stands when, at the 55 minute mark, BallsportlerInnen's S. Sastre hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. After 65 minutes a well-practised indirect free kick routine by BallsportlerInnen was easily anticipated by the defenders. The players forward were so well marked, they were left with few viable options. 68 minutes into the game, B. van der Ploeg had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came H. Gutzeit. Content with how the game was proceeding, the BallsportlerInnen coach let C. Saarlouis replace M. Nimptsch after 70 minutes. After 74 minutes, Pommern's C. Lütte fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! Possession in this half belonged to BallsportlerInnen, who controlled the ball 64 percent of the time.

S. Taherkhan performed admirably for BallsportlerInnen. H. Gutzeit on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Pommern player was T. Oettl. However, T. Nafzinger made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 0.
