Clear skies welcomed the 50303 spectators who had made their way to Sportpark an der Siedlerallee. Rune Lange was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Walter Barresi and Folke Sandelin. All of Nordrhein-Westfalen was shut down for the day, as fans of both clubs came to the derby. Schiefbahn had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. Lineup: Bundea - Klupta, Marin, Caillet, Aysu - Berschweiler, Schüßler, Köberlein, Mach, Schneglberger - Kalbach.

Bauernlümmel decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Udda - Fieggen, Nascimento, Tali - Nierhoff, Metrich, Federici, Scholz, Kääriäinen - Lopičević, Gonschorek.

Bauernlümmel mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. Schiefbahn were able to draw a foul with their counterattacks, but the shot from B. Marin went into the arms of the keeper. After 31 minutes Bauernlümmel's P. Udda limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. İ. Aysu of Schiefbahn received a yellow card after 32 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. H. Gonschorek hit the corner kick straight to the keeper, but it was mishandled, giving Bauernlümmel's M. Lopičević an easy chance to knock it in for 0 - 1. Schiefbahn put pressure on the visitors' central defence 37 minutes into the game, but D. Schneglberger couldn't find an opening. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Schiefbahn, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

With 50 minutes played, the Schiefbahn coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. A. Gebenus came on, B. Marin had to leave the fray. 57 minutes into the game, D. Kalbach came close to levelling the score with a dangerous shot from the centre of the area that went just over the bar. The coach of Bauernlümmel was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 60 minutes, R. Schweinitz came on for P. Scholz. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Bauernlümmel coach let P. Hohenwarter replace R. Nierhoff after 60 minutes. After a fatal mistake from the away team's right side defence 69 minutes into the match, an alert A. Berschweiler bagged the ball for Schiefbahn, levelling the score to 1 - 1. Bauernlümmel's A. Tali was shown a yellow card after 73 minutes for slicing down an opponent. After 80 minutes, the Schiefbahn coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving D. Kalbach off the field. T. Kask took his place. Schiefbahn enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.

Schiefbahn's top performer was clearly W. Mach. On the other hand, H. Klupta's play was disheartening. Most important Bauernlümmel player was H. Gonschorek. P. Hohenwarter was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 1.
