2040 punters turned up at Stolperfalle, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Gabriele Ettlin was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Marco Mattei and Berndt Wiegel. desolat tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Bijewski - Seyyedi, Puff, Wetter-Rosenthal - Steeb, Sasin, Boggel, Onofrei, Stefansson - Doringswalde, Oberkersch.

Revertério had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. The following players took the field: Estébanez Zarzalejos - da Lua, Gordon, Mennes, Caso - Masarin, van Voolen, Carrieri, Taborowski - Leitão, Cargaleiro.

The celebrations in the stands could only mean one thing - J. Puff's free kick had found the back of the net and put desolat ahead 1 - 0! L. Leitão stunned the crowd with a brilliant counterattack from the left, giving Revertério the goal to make it 1 - 1. Against a lesser team, desolat could very well have succeeded with their smart indirect free kick routine after 18 minutes. A trio of passes took the ball all the way past the defenders, but by then the intended recipient was already blocked off and the keeper could make a leisurely save. desolat's W. Boggel got himself booked for a foul. After 22 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as desolat found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to inadequate. Revertério's J. Cargaleiro could have put the guests one up after 23 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but M. Bijewski was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. 1 - 1 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by desolat, with 59 percent of the ball.

The desolat players spent the break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organisation and regained a solid organisation when the game started again. After 52 minutes Revertério's J. Cargaleiro limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. 57 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for desolat to take the lead after a good cross from the right found M. Doringswalde alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. 65 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Revertério substitution. N. Nunes came on for L. Taborowski. W. Boggel of desolat seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 2 - 1 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by J. Puff. After 70 minutes, Revertério switched J. Cargaleiro with C. Cushway, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. 76 minutes into the game, desolat had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to passable. Possession in this half belonged to desolat, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

desolat's top performer was clearly P. Steeb. However, K. Seyyedi made a disastrous appearance. L. Leitão performed admirably for Revertério. C. Cushway was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 1.
