In front of 20,130 spectators in the Duisburg Arena, both teams came into the game with great momentum. St. Paulis's Marvin Knoll missed the first big opportunity of the match, failing in the ninth minute against Duisburg goalkeeper Daniel Mesenhöler. Other great opportunities remained in the first half, however, in short supply. Duisburg was safe, but was offensively set no accents.

The situation continued similarly after the break. Both teams struggled to create danger from the game. Only after standard situations it became dangerous. Rio Miyaichi headed just over the corner (60 '). In the 69th minute, tested Duisburg's Andreas Wiegel SCP keeper Robin Himmelmann with a tight long-range shot.

The rebound could be clarified by the defense only with difficulty. When everything pointed to a draw, Allagui made for the corner of Knoll for the Hamburg victory.
