After a nervy start, the Werkself take control and create several chances. The deadlock is broken with the opener on 39 minutes with a goal from centre forward Heinz Reinhard. The team from Bonn equalise on 73 minutes and take a deserved point thanks to a battling performance. Just before the end of the match, as in every home game, a large number of Leverkusen flag-wavers run onto the track and towards the main stand, which takes them behind the goal of the Bonner keeper Horst Mühlmann. There was a not so friendly exchange of words followed by a rash incident after the final whistle.
The Bonner goalkeeper grabs a twelve-year-old, takes a swing at him and leaves him flat out on the pitch. It is only thanks to the brave intervention of the Bayer 04 stewards that there is no mass brawl. The Bayer 04 fan is taken to hospital and the father of the boy understandably takes legal action.
