tomaten decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. They fielded: Rinsema - Braun, Hilhorst, van Baar, de Groen - Wieland, Bolwerk, van Schuppen, Houtman - Wijer, Radwan.

For their match strategy, Muur had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. N. Aukee's lightning pace was too much for B. Braun who could only look on as the Muur player blasted one home. 1 - 0. Having just succeeded in blocking a dangerous counter attack, the defending team was outwitted by the follow-up Muur free kick. The routine was expertly executed as the ball was shifted quickly to one side of the box, then back to the other. J. Konrad appeared on cue near the post, and steered it past the goalie. 2 - 0, after 20 minutes. After 40 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and J. Konrad gave the Muur supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 3 - 0. The players of Muur now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. The referee showed tomaten's C. Radwan the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. 3 - 0 was the score after the first half. Muur had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

With 54 minutes played, Muur put themselves up 4 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to D. Zakarauskas, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. With 72 minutes played, A. Făt of Muur fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave S. Hilhorst from tomaten a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 74 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! 87 minutes into the game, D. Zakarauskas finished off a Muur left wing counterattack, making the score 5 - 0. Possession of the ball saw an equal split between the teams during the forty-five minutes.

R. Zsolnai performed admirably for Muur. However, A. Hellinger made a disastrous appearance. Most important tomaten player was E. Wijer. R. Rinsema turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 5 - 0.
