The atmosphere before and during the game was tense, especially after Kickers Offenbach defeated 5-0 in the first home game of the regional league season FSV Frankfurt. This game took place in the stadium on Bieberer Berg in front of 7,456 spectators. Offenbach was dominant right from the start and controlled the initial phase, especially on the left side with Ünlücifci. FSV Frankfurt needed about 15 minutes to escape from this control.

• 1: 0 Mustafa (42 ′)
• 2: 0 wax (73 ′)
• 3: 0 Mensah (76 ′)
• 4: 0 Nazarov (81 ′)
• 5: 0 Nazarov (84 ′)

for Frankfurt there was a good opportunity through Mourad in the 21st minute, but he headed just past the goal. After the 1-0 by Mustafa in the 42nd minute, the second half became even more challenging for the FSV, which also had to accept a dismissal for del Vecchio in the 70th minute.
