40016 spectators had come to Echo vom Rossbärg I Arena this cloudy day. Kobus De Pue was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Otfried Sophien and Vyacheslav Chinenov. People from all over Zug had joined up for the derby. Rossbärg started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. Lineup: Brak - Beranizo, Itta, Pietilänaho, Horecki - Korka, Pailler, Dergias, Spano - Regtop, Rigotti.

Fussballkickers had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. The following players had been chosen: Schürmann - Lugin, Serrano, Dahrmann - Dicastillo, Szyjka, Steingraver, Pavlović - Schlebrügge, Kutzner, Clerico.

Rossbärg were relying on their ability to counter-attack. Fussballkickers took the lead after 5 minutes making the score 0 - 1. O. Dahrmann placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. Rossbärg's A. Pailler was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 10 minutes. No matter how hard he tried, M. Rigotti just couldn't get his shot past the visitors' right side defence after 21 minutes. A drive down the left side allowed A. Serrano to get in close and score another goal for Fussballkickers after 25 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 2. After 27 minutes Fussballkickers's M. Pavlović contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. With 29 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed A. Kutzner of Fussballkickers to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 3. Rossbärg supporters cheered as good work down the right got the ball to M. Korka who reduced the visitors' lead after 37 minutes to 1 - 3. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 3. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Fussballkickers, with 60 percent of the ball.

Rossbärg's R. Regtop got the home crowd going when he finished off a left wing charge, reducing the away team's lead to 2 - 3. Some fine movement on the left led to a Fussballkickers goal after 65 minutes, making it 2 - 4. E. Steingraver was noted down as the scorer. The bench was restless, and with 70 minutes passed Rossbärg's coach gave R. Weitkamp the opportunity the player had been hoping for. A. Pailler reluctantly left the field. Rossbärg's M. Spano was shown a yellow card after 72 minutes for slicing down an opponent. 73 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 2 - 5 as B. Szyjka finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. After this, you could see that the players of Fussballkickers were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. A. Kutzner was, after 74 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper N. Brak made the save. The visitors' M. Pavlović took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 80 minutes into the match. 2 - 6 for Fussballkickers. Possession in this half belonged to Fussballkickers, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

Rossbärg's best player was T. Dergias. N. Brak was a disappointment, however. Fussballkickers's top performer was clearly P. Clerico. However, M. Lugin made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 6.
