This duel took place in Gais picturesque, around 35 kilometers from Brixen, and was held in half of half at 30 minutes each. The Bielefelders, who had made their own fit in their own training camp in Sterzing, got a better day and took the lead 1-0 through Joel Grodowski. According to the observers, this was not only deserved, but also symptomatic for the difficulties of the FCN. "We had big problems with the high pressing of the Bielefeld," said Klose.
