Gladenbach were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. They were singing the praises of H. Sánchez 2 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 1 - 0 to Lunch. 3 minutes into the game, Gladenbach seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a weak level of organisation. 14 minutes into the match Gladenbach's A. Cappelletta viciously shoved another player from behind while going for a loose ball and was sent off the pitch with a red card. Lunch were forced into a substitution as P. Gravesen couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing P. Orvos to come in off the bench. With 19 minutes played, Lunch's J. Dupuis almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. 1 - 0 was the score after the first half. Lunch enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 63 percent of possession.

During the break, Gladenbach's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to solid organisation. A. Masetto received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 49 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. V. Polk tied the game at 1 - 1 after 51 minutes, when he converted an incredible pass from the right. 65 minutes into the game, Gladenbach seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to weak. With 67 minutes played A. Masetto almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. The head of U. Dortmunder connected with a corner kick after 86 minutes, and the ball ended up with M. Arslan of Gladenbach who blasted the ball into the net, making the score 1 - 2. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Lunch, with 66 percent of the ball.

Most important Lunch player was M. Mättö. A. Nunes on the other hand, had a terrible day. Gladenbach's best player was V. Klieba. However, M. Arslan made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 2.
