They were singing the praises of H. Innig 3 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 1 - 0 to Knabenchor. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. H. Webersmann squirmed through their central defence after 17 minutes, increasing the lead to 2 - 0. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to COCO0, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

It was a hot and sunny day, and several players seemed worn out. Maybe this was why N. Jackwerth found an unusual amount of space for his snappy footwork. COCO0 managed to reduce the score to 2 - 1 as G. Asschenfeldt finished off a well-played combination from the left, easily carving through the defence. T. Krysl found it hard to catch his breath today in the stifling heat. Knabenchor's L. Diemer saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 82 minutes. With 86 minutes played, M. Gaugg-Tsallis came in from the right and could have evened the score, but the defenders successfully repelled the attack by COCO0. There was concern in the stands when, at the 87 minute mark, COCO0's F. Zerbst hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. Knabenchor's B. Miggisch increased the lead to 3 - 1, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 87 minutes. 89 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as K. Kelbassa broke through, making the score 4 - 1 for Knabenchor. Knabenchor had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

H. Claßen performed admirably for Knabenchor. On the other hand, V. Altgrottkau's play was disheartening. Most important COCO0 player was J. Schobert. T. Graupensberger on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 4 - 1.
