Abidi left the field after 33 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was S. Drzymala. Voldbjerg's slick passing moves completely confused the defence after 36 minutes, but thanks to O. Kollmuss's miraculous save from M. Venè's long shot the score remained unchanged. P. Bußler sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from C. Thoniard after 41 minutes of play, making the score 1 - 2. M. Venè received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 42 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 1 - 3.
