ssv80 took the lead 5 minutes in, as P. Häti broke through on the left and put the 1 - 0 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. After 24 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and H. Schlotterhausen gave the ssv80 supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0. The players of ssv80 now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. ssv80 increased the lead as V. Naudin struck to make the score 3 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. S. Raspo wanted to play on, but the ssv80 coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 31 minutes into the game by S. Omar. After 32 minutes, H. Schlotterhausen put ssv80 ahead 4 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. ssv80's C. Niţu saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 35 minutes. The teams went for the halftime break at 4 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by ssv80, with 85 percent of the ball.

Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Lunker's B. Kiesow was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 46 minutes. E. Szulżycki was given a chance to change things around. Unhappy with the result so far in the game, the Lunker manager used a brief break in play after 46 minutes to give the players new directives. C. Mano left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 46 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. J. Solheim was the replacement. Content with how the game was proceeding, the ssv80 coach let G. Kóti replace V. Naudin after 46 minutes. The Lunker players listened closely to their manager, as he gave new tactical instructions for the team. Cheers filled the stadium as T. Kullas broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 5 - 0 to ssv80. After 55 minutes, Lunker switched S. Eutiner with K. Rolff, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. Some things can only be learned through experience, and H. Kelz should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting ssv80 a goal with 58 minutes of the match played. Given a free kick close to the byline, ssv80 tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let H. Schlotterhausen slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 6 - 0, 68 minutes into the game. This third goal completed a hattrick for H. Schlotterhausen. Things were deteriorating for the away team as ssv80 scored another to make it 7 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for H. Schlotterhausen after 76 minutes. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of ssv80 to 8 - 0 as G. Viamonte finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. ssv80 claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 88 percent.

C. Tallec performed admirably for ssv80. On the other hand, G. Kóti's play was disheartening. Most important Lunker player was H. Kelz. However, R. Viola made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 8 - 0.
