Arminia Bielefeld initially relied on defensive security and tried to dominate the midfield. But often they came across the well -organized defense of the Saarlanders.

An attempted by Neudecker in the 71st minute, which went far above the goal, was symptomatic of the overall performance.
The substitute Sarenren Bazeee from Bielefeld, who played its speed in the 74th minute, provided a little excitement. But the success also failed to do so, because the cross landed safely in the hands of Menzel, the goalkeeper of Saarbrücken.
