39,643 fans were in attendance for the match-up, as they witnessed Pat Barnes, Jake Delhomme (future Carolina Panthers quarterback) and the Galaxy avenge last year's World Bowl loss with a 38–24 victory over the Dragons.

The Dragons won the regular season series against the Galaxy, 21–15 (overtime) in Barcelona and 28–26 in Frankfurt.

Near the beginning of the fourth quarter, Galaxy quarterback Jake Delhomme concluded a 14-play, 98-yard drive with an eight-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Mario Bailey.

However, the Galaxy managed to put the game away, with Barnes leading a nine-play, 80-yard drive that ended with MVP Andy McCullough catching a seven-yard touchdown pass.

With their victory, the Frankfurt Galaxy managed to become the very first NFL Europe team to win two World Bowls.
