Eintracht took a creative approach on the field. 15 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for Eintracht was F. Weinhaeusl. Some things can only be learned through experience, and D. Argomenni should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting Pro_Soccers a goal with 16 minutes of the match played. The score became 2 - 0 at 27 minutes into the game, when Eintracht were given a penalty which B. Bauche blasted straight down the middle giving the keeper no chance! The visitors' right side was dangerous today; C. Introddi made the home team's keeper look foolish as he easily reduced the lead to make it 2 - 1 34 minutes into the match. 2 - 1 was the score after the first half. Eintracht enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 56 percent of possession.

69 minutes into the match, Pro_Soccers's W. Targański demonstrated his famed speed as he raced past his marker and passed the ball to G. Zorloni who chipped it in for 2 - 2. Eintracht had a chance to take the lead after F. Weinhaeusl's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 70 minutes. W. Targański, who often relies on his speed, had a rotten day on the drenched grass. After a fine move down the middle D. Ulivieri nearly gave the home side a goal after 88 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. Pro_Soccers mounted an inspired counterattack down the right wing after 89 minutes, but S. Colalongo was unable to convert from short range. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave J. Delplanque from Pro_Soccers a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 89 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! The player down was D. Argomenni. The Eintracht bench looked worried for a while, but in the end he managed to get up. C. Antoni gave Eintracht the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 3 - 2 Pro_Soccers's J. Delplanque had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 89 minutes having been played. L. Hertner was the replacement. A great save by keeper N. Ringstedten after 89 minutes kept the visitors in the game after T. Henriksen struck from the left with a real cannonball. Possession in this half belonged to Eintracht, who controlled the ball 60 percent of the time.

Eintracht's best player was R. Gerhard. T. Henriksen on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Pro_Soccers player was without a doubt J. Manso de Velasco. On the other hand, C. Barrio's play was disheartening. The match ends 3 - 2.
