The German-side arrived at Oakham School with six coaches and 15 players and both sides produced a cultured football match with impressive passing and movement.
Neuss opened the scoring mid-way through the first half with a smart finish from a tight angle, before Stamford equalised through Alex Walton after confusion in the visitor's penalty area.
Stamford were unable to build on the momentum they had generated and minutes before half time a precise pass from midfield split the defence and a Neuss striker shot bravely into the far corner before colliding with Stamford keeper Lui Carrasco – both needing treatment before the match could continue.
The second half saw chances created but wasted as the heat took its toll.
Stamford's best opportunity came from a neat move down the right wing that saw three forwards bearing down on a solitary defender. Unfortunately, the final cross into the box was poor andthe opportunity was lost.
As the second half progressed, the game opened up resulting in end-to-end action, with both goalkeepers proving capable adversaries for the opposition forwards as the score remained unchanged.
After the match the two sides enjoyed a barbecue and relaxed ahead of the following day's tournament.
Stamford hosted a four-team Rutland intenational tournament, hosting sides from the academies of Histon and Boston United, along with SVG.
In the round-robin tournament, Histon FC emerged victorious after narrow victories against the three other sides. However, it could have been a different story if Stamford had held out for a well-earned draw, with Histon's winning goal coming only two minutes from time.
The hosts matched the quality of the two academy sides, but Boston achieved second place courtesy of their victory over SVG Neuss, while Stamford could only draw against their German visitors.
After falling behind to a well-worked free kick, Stamford drew level from a venomous strike by Reece Berry.
After a handball incident late in the game, Stamford were awarded a penalty.
Alex Walton stepped up, but as is so often the case when the English face the Germans, the penalty was saved.
With their last attack Stamford could have snatched victory, but Pierce Evley was unable to connect properly at the near post and steered his shot agonisingly wide.
After the tournament the four teams watched the European Championship final together.
