15235 punters turned up at Hinterwald Arena, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Slobodan Mirović was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Paco Pecci and Ingo Stijns. Hinterwald had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Abis - Ferreira Abreu, Rohde, Blaes - Afonso, Salvati, Llort, MacTier, Burkov - Wawrzeń, Schlitz.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Biquettes. The following players took the field: Erlach - Karotsch, Candas, Bedouet - Sorel, Mengler, Pelyak, Campa, Mickle - Bonfranchi, Gioi.

Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 32 minutes into the match left Biquettes's J. Candas completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. 34 minutes into the game, Biquettes worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. F. Sorel came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over R. Abis but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. Biquettes claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 65 percent.

With 50 minutes played, H. Mengler nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. With 76 minutes played, Biquettes put themselves up 0 - 2 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was H. Mengler. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Biquettes lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Biquettes had most of the ball, with 63 percent of possession.

Hinterwald's top performer was clearly G. Schlitz. M. MacTier was a disappointment, however. Most important Biquettes player was P. Campa. However, A. Bonfranchi made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 2.
