Corinthian clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. Corinthian's goal to make the score 0 - 1 came via a questionable penalty, but A. Tolosa struck it home without a second thought. With a shot curled in from just outside the middle of the penalty area after 5 minutes played, G. Simon of Seefhoek made the score 1 - 1. Corinthian's M. Bečica gave the visitors a 1 - 2 lead after 8 minutes with a superb strike from the right. D. Vandersmissen's speed was clear to see after 16 minutes, as he darted down the wing and released S. Galloy who placed the ball into the back of the net to make the score 2 - 2. Corinthian had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 23 minutes in when C. Lecca came up alone against R. Van Buynder who managed a block. O. Declerck had a good opportunity to give Corinthian the lead as he charged down the right and struck the ball towards the top corner, but the home team's goalkeeper made the save. Halftime score was 2 - 2. Possession in this half belonged to Corinthian, who controlled the ball 53 percent of the time.

N. Zolotilov sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from A. Tolosa after 73 minutes of play, making the score 2 - 3. After 79 minutes of play, G. Wymeersch equalised for Seefhoek after an elegant attack from the right. Some great play up the middle by Seefhoek led to a chance for J. Bourdon to score after 86 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. Corinthian took the lead 87 minutes into the game, making the score 3 - 4 after some elegant movement down the middle. C. Lecca was the scorer. Corinthian claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

The most dominating Seefhoek player was without a doubt G. Simon. G. Bricmont was a disappointment, however. Most important Corinthian player was V. Doroshkov. Y. Vanwiddingen on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 4.
