Ballermann112 demonstrated their creative tactics on the field. Lokomotive seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Ballermann112 created a good opportunity to score 7 minutes into the match when D. Pflister's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. 21 minutes into the game, F. Xavier had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came J. Clausse. Ballermann112's K. Pirstinger got himself booked for a foul. A. Rîbac received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 32 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. It was 0 - 0 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Ballermann112, with 51 percent of the ball.

Ballermann112 were awarded a penalty 50 minutes into the game but C. Ungers produced a poor shot, quite easily saved by M. Iraz. Ballermann112's D. Pflister 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. C. Ungers gave Ballermann112 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 Ballermann112's C. Ungers had an excellent opportunity after 75 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! M. Šrajber made a good effort at breaking through on the right, but the home team's left defence cleared the ball to a corner. Lokomotive claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

Ballermann112's top performer was clearly R. Casile. H. Zapletal was a disappointment, however. I. Blomoser performed admirably for Lokomotive. On the other hand, M. Iraz's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 0.
