Oberpfaffenhofen clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. Down the middle came J. Kammer, making a fantastic play that nearly had Oberpfaffenhofen take the lead after 10 minutes, but M. Beyger preserved the tie. Oberpfaffenhofen's N. Belaouche was shown a yellow card after 16 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Luzern's V. Redaelli went down after a savage challenge, but could continue playing after some medical attention. Thighs bulging, J. Korhonen charged past the weaker players, seemingly oblivious to the rain. J. Kammer had a good opportunity to give Oberpfaffenhofen the lead as he charged down the right and struck the ball towards the top corner, but the home team's goalkeeper made the save. With 27 minutes played, F. Rütti of Oberpfaffenhofen fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Luzern's R. Ferry left the field after 28 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was E. Taverniti. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 31 minutes allowed A. Champion to score for Oberpfaffenhofen. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. The visitors' J. Kammer took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 36 minutes into the match. 0 - 2 for Oberpfaffenhofen. Halftime score was 0 - 2. Oberpfaffenhofen had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

The visitors added to their lead 53 minutes into the game, after a sensational penalty kick by Oberpfaffenhofen's J. Kammer slid just past the home keeper. 0 - 3. After this, you could see that the players of Oberpfaffenhofen were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. The rain made it hard for players like I. Sobrado to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. J. Korhonen received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 75 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 4. The Oberpfaffenhofen fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. 78 minutes into the game Luzern managed a counterattack, but W. Troesch took a soft shot from the left flank that was easy prey for the alert keeper. Oberpfaffenhofen claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

The most dominating Luzern player was without a doubt I. Sobrado. On the other hand, E. Taverniti's play was disheartening. S. Küttel performed admirably for Oberpfaffenhofen. However, J. Wohlwend made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 4.
