After 70 minutes, N. Trapani came on for S. Mönnigmann. T. Torsteinsen of rapidutzu received a yellow card after 78 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. dancan's P. Mixa made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 80 minutes into the match.

A dribble down the left wing, followed by a shot which took a wicked bounce off a defender resulted in the keeper having no chance. Everyone thought it'd been an own goal, but K.
