Deurne were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 22 minutes into the match, and G. Bassoricci wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. 23 minutes in, Deurne's S. Möllers received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The player down was C. Duquenne. The nolioshonden bench looked worried for a while, but in the end he managed to get up. No matter how hard he tried, A. Vermeegen just couldn't get his shot past the visitors' right side defence after 25 minutes. The cannonball from 35 metres by G. Pinxteren of Deurne was an impressive sight, but didn't make it into the net. After 32 minutes, nolioshonden's S. Zahora burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. S. de Vries was called on to replace nolioshonden's J. Hjortstad after 33 minutes following a nasty collision. After 35 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for A. Lacunes who increased nolioshonden's lead to 0 - 3. 36 minutes into the match, G. Emmering came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 3. nolioshonden enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.

E. Admiraal received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 64 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 4. The nolioshonden fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. By now, the players in nolioshonden felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. After 65 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed S. Zahora to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 5. 74 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 6 as S. Zahora finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. At that, S. Zahora was noted down for a hat trick! Deurne's fans were urging them forward as they tried to get back into the game, and their vocal support was rewarded 79 minutes into the match as A. Vermeegen ran onto a beautiful ball played through the visitors' defence and slotted it past the keeper to reduce the deficit. 1 - 6. After the ball was lifted in from the left, G. Bassoricci was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 80 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. nolioshonden had most of the ball, with 59 percent of possession.

Deurne's best player was A. Bandari. G. Pinxteren turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating nolioshonden player was without a doubt E. Ram de Liñan. S. de Vries was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 6.
