The Raiders won the toss and kicked off, but looked like they weren’t ready for gametime as Yannick Mayr of the Surge returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown. The Raiders then went three and out, but got back in the game when Vincent Müller intercepted Surge quarterback Reilly Hennessey. On the next play, Lukas Haslwanter ran it in for a touchdown from 7 yards out to tie the score. Soon after, Hennessey was picked off for the second time in as many drives, this time by Franz Korger.
