Nijmegen started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Marijnissen - Gerayev, Nilsson, Mullens - Otten, van Rossum, Vinke, Froijen, Rabeling - El-Walid, Tekko.

Nijmegen decided to play creatively. After some beautiful movement down the left wing, H. Craveiro scored for PSVzuipsite.nl putting them ahead 1 - 0, after 3 minutes. Nijmegen tied it all up, 15 minutes in, after a spectacular goal by A. Tekko, who miraculously broke through the home side's central defence, making it 1 - 1. P. Cornelissen caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 22 minutes. This gave PSVzuipsite.nl the 2 - 1 lead. 35 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as P. Cornelissen broke through, making the score 3 - 1 for PSVzuipsite.nl. D. Hirdes increased the lead for PSVzuipsite.nl to 4 - 1, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! The players of PSVzuipsite.nl now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. The teams went for the halftime break at 4 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Nijmegen, with 53 percent of the ball.

T. El-Walid wasn't much help defensively. His energy-consuming forward runs proved quite costly in the oppressive heat. Ater 63 minutes T. El-Walid seized on an opportunistic attack from the right, and scored for Nijmegen making it 4 - 2. The visitors' right side was dangerous today; S. Rabeling made the home team's keeper look foolish as he easily reduced the lead to make it 4 - 3 66 minutes into the match. It was a hot and sunny day, and several players seemed worn out. Maybe this was why A. Tekko found an unusual amount of space for his snappy footwork. Nijmegen tied it all up, 74 minutes in, after a spectacular goal by R. Otten, who miraculously broke through the home side's central defence, making it 4 - 4. Possession in this half belonged to Nijmegen, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

As neither team had managed to win, extra time was called. PSVzuipsite.nl took the lead 99 minutes in, as D. Groenestein broke through on the left and put the 5 - 4 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. This put an end to extra time, making PSVzuipsite.nl the winners. PSVzuipsite.nl's top performer was clearly T. Togo. On the other hand, D. Groenestein's play was disheartening. M. Marijnissen performed admirably for Nijmegen. On the other hand, R. Nilsson's play was disheartening. The match ends 5 - 4.
