Clear skies welcomed the 41111 spectators who had made their way to Stadion am Jadebusen. Manfred Burgold was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Fryderyk Rajs and Mercé Ribera. Friesenjungs started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Hämmerling - Kulka, Carlsson, Nüßle - Prier, Prieto, Bloemen, Serva, Schoeler - Castagnaro, Roivanen.

Besiegdas had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. The following players had been chosen: Hopfengärtner - Kuchinke, Löwig, Brückner - Roessner, Baiker, Balek, Bürgerweide - Eisenreich, Hopfenspirger, Bischofsheim.

Friesenjungs were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Besiegdas clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. With 5 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as K. Roivanen flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. A great save by keeper O. Hopfengärtner after 9 minutes kept the visitors in the game after S. Nüßle struck from the left with a real cannonball. Players in Friesenjungs heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. After 17 minutes, T. Serva put Friesenjungs ahead 2 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. Friesenjungs's T. Serva swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. Friesenjungs's K. Roivanen saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 27 minutes. The referee showed Friesenjungs's S. Nüßle the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. The home team's fans were upset when, after 31 minutes, the visiting N. Roessner broke through the central defence and kicked the ball past the keeper. 2 - 1 was the score. It was 2 - 1 at the break. Friesenjungs had most of the ball, with 59 percent of possession.

It was obvious that Friesenjungs had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. Friesenjungs managed to extend their lead to 3 - 1 when K. Roivanen cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. Friesenjungs's T. Carlsson's long shot really ought to have found the net 60 minutes into the match, but it fell just wide of the target. Given a free kick close to the byline, Friesenjungs tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let T. Carlsson slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 4 - 1, 69 minutes into the game. After this, you could see that the players of Friesenjungs were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Besiegdas, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. With 71 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock, Besiegdas showed some good skill and were able to reduce the score to 4 - 2 when D. Balek got past the home side's central defenders right in front of the goal. Besiegdas were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. Besiegdas were desperate to get a goal back and pushed forward through the middle 74 minutes into the game. After a scramble in the box, the ball dropped to E. Baiker, who smashed it home to make the score 4 - 3. Friesenjungs put in a good effort on the right, but S. Nüßle saw his volley fly wide of the mark 76 minutes into the game. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Friesenjungs, with 58 percent of the ball.

Friesenjungs's top performer was clearly K. Roivanen. T. Castagnaro on the other hand, had a terrible day. Besiegdas's best player was W. Bischofsheim. N. Roessner turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 4 - 3.
