From minute 17, the Munich team then had a little more than three minutes of overtime, but the AEV defense held and the teams went into the first intermission with a 1-1 score.

Now wave after wave of attacks rolled towards the Augsburg goal. But only Blum scored in overtime to make it 3:1 (29.). This result was also on the dice after 40 minutes.

As a result, the champions combined for an unchallenged derby victory, but no more goals were scored until the final siren.
