Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Oberursel. Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of 11Valerones. T. Pettersson was having a great game - if anything the pouring rain seemed to be spurring him on! After 30 minutes, the defensive line of 11Valerones created a counterattack through the middle that gave P. Hatzithoma a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. K. Kühnicke behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 35 minutes as he gave the ball away to M. Pescina. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. Halftime score was 0 - 0. Oberursel had most of the ball, with 64 percent of possession.

S. Dorkić gave Oberursel the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 Oberursel had to make a substitution after 60 minutes. S. Dorkić limped off the field and was replaced by A. Koivurova. Oberursel's J. Däwitz had seen it all before, so he waited patiently for the right opportunity. He would get no better chance than the one he took, but his shot was deftly blocked by the keeper. After 68 minutes, Oberursel sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached A. Koivurova, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 2 - 0. After 69 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as 11Valerones found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to passable. M. Racławski slipped and slithered in the wet grass. His usual rapid runs were nowhere to be seen today. Oberursel's M. Turudić was shown a yellow card after 75 minutes for slicing down an opponent. J. Higuera's knee will be throbbing for days, but thankfully for 11Valerones, he bravely continued in the match. With 81 minutes played, W. Spendel of Oberursel fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. 83 minutes into the game, 11Valerones seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a weak level of organisation. Possession in this half belonged to Oberursel, who controlled the ball 64 percent of the time.

The most dominating Oberursel player was without a doubt T. Pettersson. H. Bonet on the other hand, had a terrible day. 11Valerones's top performer was clearly G. Serrano. However, A. Neto Gomes made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 0.
