Nafi was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. I. Kothencz replaced him. Oberfricker broke through on the left 39 minutes into the game, with Z. Oliwa firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. The home crowd was dismayed when the referee called a penalty for S.D.V. after 41 minutes. F. Pomes calmly took the shot and scored. The game was level at 1 - 1. After 42 minutes, M. Alia sent the corner kick right to Z. Oliwa who headed it sharply past the keeper. 2 - 1! Oberfricker were given a gift! The ref dubiously awarded them a penalty 43 minutes into the match, which was neatly put away by M. Alia. 3 - 1 for the home side. 3 - 1 was the score after the first half. Oberfricker had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

Oberfricker put in a good effort on the right, but H. Grelos saw his volley fly wide of the mark 47 minutes into the game. F. Pomes of S.D.V. was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Oberfricker's S. Léon saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 62 minutes. The Oberfricker players could smell victory in the air. G. Hadad wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for C. Kakaris after 70 minutes. With 73 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock, S.D.V. showed some good skill and were able to reduce the score to 3 - 2 when K. Prétôt got past the home side's central defenders right in front of the goal. In an effort to secure the lead, Oberfricker changed their tactic after 80 minutes. Oberfricker's S. Léon was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 82 minutes. The sunny day didn't make things easy for I. Blat who didn't seem his usual powerful self on the pitch. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Oberfricker coach let K. Köhle replace H. Grelos after 89 minutes. Possession in this half belonged to Oberfricker, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

Oberfricker's best player was M. Alia. K. Köhle was a disappointment, however. R. Choquehuanca performed admirably for S.D.V.. On the other hand, I. Kothencz's play was disheartening. The match ends 3 - 2.
