Fortuna1979 decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Pragana - Tudruj, Sutter, Garrote - Harmancı, Serafin, Radisavljević, Amidani, Dattenfeld - Borahel, Meisinger.

The guests almost went up by a goal after 18 minutes when B. Borahel came through and shot from the right. The ball bounced harmlessly off the post, though. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, I. Tudruj got himself booked. The manager of Fortuna1979 was not happy. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 26 minutes into the match left Fortuna1979's M. Meisinger completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. 28 minutes into the game, Fortuna1979 were awarded a penalty and S. Harmancı was able to increase the visitors' lead to 0 - 2 rolling the ball in by the right post. Confident in their lead, Fortuna1979's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Fortuna1979's S. Harmancı was shown a yellow card after 29 minutes for slicing down an opponent. B. Radisavljević wanted to play on, but the Fortuna1979 coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 30 minutes into the game by J. Hilhorst. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Fortuna1979 coach let L. Toye replace M. Garrote after 35 minutes. Halftime score was 0 - 2. Fortuna1979 had most of the ball, with 63 percent of possession.

The Fortuna1979 players could smell victory in the air. S. Harmancı wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for D. Agosto after 46 minutes. J. Hilhorst could have put his team up another goal 61 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. The home crowd were delighted when D. Smoszna scored with a header after an attack from the right, making the score 1 - 2. But did he use his hand? That'll be one for the pundits to talk about after the game, that's for sure! Duseltruppe tried to even things up by sending a long ball towards the centrally placed strikers, but the visitors' defence got the best of this rather direct style of play. L. Toye increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 1 - 3. The head of M. Meisinger connected with a corner kick after 80 minutes, and the ball ended up with L. Toye of Fortuna1979 who blasted the ball into the net, making the score 1 - 4. Fortuna1979 came close to extending their lead as M. Amidani delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 83 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. Fortuna1979 enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 63 percent of possession.

Duseltruppe's best player was M. Aguirre. B. Dieste on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Fortuna1979 player was Z. Serafin. D. Agosto was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 4.
