WEISSENKIRCHEN tried to focus their attacks down the middle. Bjergkøbing were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. WEISSENKIRCHEN were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. It was obvious that Bjergkøbing had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. Bjergkøbing's F. Alrøe managed to lose the defenders as he advanced down the right wing and scored, putting the visitors ahead after 21 minutes. 0 - 1. 33 minutes into the game, E. Heimkes came close to levelling the score with a dangerous shot from the centre of the area that went just over the bar. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave G. D'Abrosca from Bjergkøbing a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 34 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! 0 - 1 was the score after the first half. WEISSENKIRCHEN had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

With 60 minutes played, H. Páez of WEISSENKIRCHEN fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. WEISSENKIRCHEN tried to even things up by sending a long ball towards the centrally placed strikers, but the visitors' defence got the best of this rather direct style of play. The game was close to savage at times, and WEISSENKIRCHEN's H. Páez received a second yellow card after 78 minutes; his ticket out of the game. J. Romero made a superb strike after 79 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors' defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner. WEISSENKIRCHEN claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

The most dominating WEISSENKIRCHEN player was without a doubt J. Buffery. However, M. Mehrlein made a disastrous appearance. J. Cocote performed admirably for Bjergkøbing. J. Dárday on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 1.
