G. Brégou caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 10 minutes. This gave annaparochie the 1 - 0 lead. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave G. Schreuder from annaparochie a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 17 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Due to a severely mistimed tackle, J. Botelho of Winnerzzz spent some time on the grass writhing in agony before he could get up and continue the game. With 19 minutes played, D. Hervieux could have brought this one home for annaparochie as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. annaparochie's R. Daamen got himself booked for a foul. The visitors were awarded a penalty by the referee 30 minutes into the match, much to the anger of the home crowd. A. Robledo Villa took advantage of the situation and scored to make it 1 - 1. annaparochie's A. Burgher was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 32 minutes. Some things can only be learned through experience, and G. Schreuder should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting Winnerzzz a goal with 34 minutes of the match played.

He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 2 - 1! annaparochie were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. annaparochie's G. Brégou had an excellent opportunity after 58 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! annaparochie managed to extend their lead to 3 - 1 when R. Daamen cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. annaparochie's I. Randelin was shown a yellow card after 70 minutes for slicing down an opponent. The player down was A. Robledo Villa. The Winnerzzz bench looked worried for a while, but in the end he managed to get up. The Winnerzzz coach was desperate to reverse his team's fortunes in the game, and ordered his team to change strategy. After 74 minutes, Winnerzzz switched J. Durich with D. Balsa, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. After 74 minutes, Winnerzzz used a short break in the game to take new instructions from their coach.

Balsa broke through the central defence and kicked the ball past the keeper. 3 - 2 was the score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Winnerzzz, with 51 percent of the ball.
