And so the third game of the day begins: TIGERs Mannheim vs. Immortals. While Immortals are doing very well this year, their opponent is TIGERs Mannheim. Therefore, we expect a very one-sided game.

First Half
| 05:00 | The game starts with a 5-minute delay. TIGERs play in blue, Immortals in yellow. |
| 04:27 | Already 30 seconds into the game, and no goal has been scored by TIGERs. Seems to be a tougher opponent. |
| 04:02 | Hot situation in the Immortals’ penalty area. TIGERs manage to kick the ball there, but Immortals can stop it just before it rolls into the goal. |
| 03:52 | Would have been surprising if the goal had waited much longer: TIGERs take a shot and score the first goal of the game! |
| TIGERs Mannheim 1 : 0 Immortals | |
| 03:38 | And another goal for TIGERs, now they are really stepping up. |
| TIGERs Mannheim 2 : 0 Immortals | |
| 02:58 | Immortals isn’t playing poorly, at least: They can hold their own very well against TIGERs, as evidenced by the defended goal. Even under pressure, the formation doesn’t collapse. |
| 02:27 | It doesn’t seem like Immortals are really attacking, but their defense is excellent: Playing 11 vs. 5 against a team that is not only a multiple-time world champion but has also swept aside every other team so far is absolutely remarkable! |
| 01:47 | Still, it’s only a matter of time until TIGERs score the next goal: 3-0 for TIGERs Mannheim |
| TIGERs Mannheim 3 : 0 Immortals | |
| 00:34 | And another goal for TIGERs Mannheim, they’re now up to 4 goals. |
| TIGERs Mannheim 4 : 0 Immortals | |
| -00:37 | Impossible!!! After many battles in the midfield, Immortals achieve the impossible: They score a goal against TIGERs Mannheim. It’s now 1-4. |
| TIGERs Mannheim 4 : 1 Immortals | |
Second Half
| 05:00 | And so the game continues. The teams have now switched sides, but TIGERs continue to play in blue, Immortals in yellow. |
| 04:37 | No matter how the game unfolds, the ball placement strategy of the Iranian team, “Cola Kisses Orange,” is simply a visual delight every time. |
| 04:21 | Even though Immortals are the moral winners for a long time, we must still admit that this is another goal for TIGERs. The score is now 5:1 for TIGERs Mannheim. |
| TIGERs Mannheim 5 : 1 Immortals | |
| 03:56 | Once again, very good defense by Immortals: You almost thought you’d see the 6th goal, but the Immortals defense forced TIGERs to play a poorly planned pass that flew past its target and rolled out of bounds. |
| 03:50 | Timeout for Immortals. We hope they’ll get better and the game will heat up, but at their current performance, this seems unlikely. |
| 03:30 | Unfortunately, the timeout doesn’t seem to have changed anything fundamental, as TIGERs takes another shot at the goal. The Immortals keeper missed it a bit, but he could have managed it. |
| TIGERs Mannheim 6 : 1 Immortals | |
| 02:43 | And another goal for TIGERs, making it 7:1. |
| TIGERs Mannheim 7 : 1 Immortals | |
| 02:17 | Too bad, now the goals are raining for Immortals. The keeper defended well for a long time, but eventually he was a bit off, allowing the ball to zip past him and roll into the goal. |
| TIGERs Mannheim 8 : 1 Immortals | |
| 01:49 | And once again, the keeper is slightly off, he even almost dodged, which leads to another goal. Perhaps they should fine-tune this to get even closer to the perfect defense. |
| TIGERs Mannheim 9 : 1 Immortals | |
| 01:23 | That’s it. The keeper is off again, and the game ends prematurely at 10:1. |
| TIGERs Mannheim 10 : 1 Immortals | |
| 00:00 | A beautiful game. It was truly great to see, probably also for all the team members of TIGERs, that the Mannheim robots were given a serious opponent. And with only 5 robots! That’s what this tournament is for. Absolute viewing factor! |
| 01:06 | We’re postponing the conclusion and the final goal a little bit, because the goal DID NOT count, Immortals is still in the running! |
| TIGERs Mannheim 9 : 1 Immortals | |
| 00:47 | Just barely: Immortals managed to prevent TIGERs’ shot at goal, and so the game continues. Currently, everyone hopes that Immortals will survive the remaining game time. They’ve earned it. |
| 00:18 | Too bad, there were only a few seconds left they had to hold out. But that’s how it is: TIGERs Mannheim scores the last goal, the game is officially over, this time for real. |
