Today, Mülheim's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of stilles. 29 minutes into the game stilles managed a counterattack, but D. Piguillem took a soft shot from the left flank that was easy prey for the alert keeper. R. Ockershausen was called on to replace Mülheim's O. König-Reich after 30 minutes following a nasty collision. Mülheim created a good opportunity to score 36 minutes into the match when D. Talke's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. G. Buscemi got left behind when Mülheim's C. Turnbull made a sudden run forward after 38 minutes, finishing off with a neat strike. 1 - 0! With 44 minutes played, Mülheim's B. Hastik almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. 1 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession was split evenly between the teams.

Mülheim's C. Turnbull swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. Mülheim's S. Turpin had an excellent opportunity after 76 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! stilles had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

Most important Mülheim player was I. Owiny. On the other hand, R. Ockershausen's play was disheartening. The most dominating stilles player was without a doubt T. Vischering. Á. Sousa on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 0.
