The following players had been chosen: Wiedenbrück - Mendoza, Mazzei, Kasl - Dragante, Irbratt, Zaghis, Incerpi - Omarini, Biancucci, Dohány.

M. Kaszewski had a good opportunity to give AsTys the lead as he charged down the right and struck the ball towards the top corner, but the home team's goalkeeper made the save. AsTys had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 27 minutes in when J. Laepple came up alone against F. Wiedenbrück who managed a block. The terraces were silenced after 29 minutes when AsTys's T. Dobroiu put the guests ahead 0 - 1, following an attack on the right. 31 minutes in, and SGROSA were able to score the equalising goal to make it 1 - 1 when B. Irbratt picked up a pass coming in from the right and chipped it past the away team's keeper. 1 - 1 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to AsTys, who controlled the ball 53 percent of the time.

59 minutes into the game, S. Stoyanov almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. AsTys enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.

Most important SGROSA player was D. Zaghis. On the other hand, F. Wiedenbrück's play was disheartening. B. Vanselow performed admirably for AsTys. M. Kaszewski was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 1.
