After early exchanges at An der Alten Forsterei in Berlin, the hosts drew first blood after seven minutes. 33-year-old Max Kruse passed the ball to the Super Eagle who did not hesitate to find the back of the net.

However, the lead lasted for five minutes. Jeremie Frimpong provided the assist from which Frenchman Moussa Diaby scored.
