As the game started to slip away for Flachpfeife, the manager decided to change the tactical approach. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave A. González Valle from VfB-Biesdorf-Berlin a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 23 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! A great save by keeper C. De Vriendt after 25 minutes kept the visitors in the game after S. Boerrigter struck from the left with a real cannonball. Coming from the right, S. Boerrigter almost managed to score another goal for VfB-Biesdorf-Berlin, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. 35 minutes in, VfB-Biesdorf-Berlin appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only weak.

Bobbert left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 60 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. S. Freemann-Kolarik was the replacement. O. Ortmeier wanted to play on, but the VfB-Biesdorf-Berlin coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 60 minutes into the game by T. Hiddenhausen. E. van Zweden was handed the VfB-Biesdorf-Berlin captain's armband. With 68 minutes played, VfB-Biesdorf-Berlin's P.
