The Germans accept all the demands, but recommend ndi not include any Jews in his team. However, ndi cant organize the team only from his company, because onlyout of 98 Hungarian labour servicemen can play football. Therefore, ndi recruits players from the other company. One of the players is Steiner, who is a Jew and cant play football. He lied to ndi because he was afraid to die. During training the footballers subdue the Hungarian corporal guarding them and try to escape. They are soon recaptured and told they will now face probable death penalty. However, the Hungarian officer orders the Hungarian team to still play the match. At the beginning of the match ndi and his team are discouraged, as the Germans easily score three goals. The Hungarians succeed in scoring one goal and the first half endsin favour of Germany. At the interval the Hungarian commander tells the Hungarian players that they might not be executed if they lose the match. The Hungarians refuse to believe this. At the beginning of the second half they score three goals. As a result, during the match, they are executed by the Germans.
