After 50 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for A. Teske who increased simon's lead to 0 - 4. The players of simon now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave S. Świacki from simon a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 62 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! K. Terryn's knee will be throbbing for days, but thankfully for Baarechoem, he bravely continued in the match. The muddy pitch made the game a gritty affair, which seemed to suit D. Pisciotta just fine. With 69 minutes played, simon put themselves up 0 - 5 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was A. Roguski. É. Bunel was called on to replace simon's A. Teske after 74 minutes following a nasty collision. Some fine movement on the left led to a simon goal after 76 minutes, making it 0 - 6. S. Świacki was noted down as the scorer. 86 minutes into the game, simon worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. Possession in this half belonged to simon, who controlled the ball 75 percent of the time.

Baarechoem's best player was R. Dandois. On the other hand, N. Moriau's play was disheartening. The most dominating simon player was without a doubt D. Pisciotta. É. Bunel on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 6.
