Already in the 9th the red and purple were ahead by two goals: on the first useful action, after a long recovery by the defense, the striker Serhou Guirassy quickly overcame the opposing defender and, appearing in front of the goalkeeper, beat him with a precise lob. A few moments later it was Nicolas Gonzalez's turn, who doubled the lead with a left-footed shot after getting rid of his marker. The third goal arrived in the 22nd minute, and was once again scored by Serhou Guirassy, ​​who completed a beautiful team action. The fourth goal, in the 38th, was scored by Chris Führich, who converted a penalty awarded for a foul on Guirassy.

In the second half, coach Matarazzo made eleven substitutions, bringing in the entire bench. Among the new arrivals, the young striker Malick Thiaw immediately stood out, scoring the sixth goal for VfB in the 54th minute with a nice personal move. After the seventh goal, scored in the 69th by another very young player, Jaden Hugues, Offenbach finally found a way to score, scoring a goal with a shot from outside the area by Kofi Schulze in the 83rd.
