The North Germans had only scored six goals until this game.
Things went better for Duisburg, however: they were unbeaten and were able to extend their lead at the top of the table to eight points.

It took until the 35th minute for MSV to celebrate; Sussek lobbed over Uphoff and gave Duisburg a 1-0 lead. The joy was short-lived, however, because shortly before half-time Harenbrock equalized for Rostock - 1-1 at half-time.
In the second half, Dietze missed a great chance for Rostock in the 52nd minute before Duisburg took the lead again in the 70th minute. Fleckstein made it 2-1 after a precise cross from Sussek. Despite a double substitution at Rostock, which was intended to strengthen the offensive, the goal failed to materialize. The game ultimately ended with a 2-1 win for Duisburg.
