bonkebonk clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. After 4 minutes bonkebonk's G. Huter contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to N. Tzenov, but the bonkebonk player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! bonkebonk's N. Tzenov proved that he's been around on a football pitch before, when he took advantage of a few moments of confusion in the opposition's defensive line and elegantly scored for 2 - 0. 9 minutes into the match D. van der Sterren put bonkebonk ahead 3 - 0 with a truly marvelous free kick. 15 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as V. Ganchev broke through, making the score 4 - 0 for bonkebonk. At this point, it was obvious that the players of bonkebonk lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Cheers filled the stadium as N. Tzenov broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 5 - 0 to bonkebonk. This third goal completed a hattrick for N. Tzenov.

With 49 minutes played, T. Calkhoven of laleh254 fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. bonkebonk's D. van der Sterren increased the lead to 7 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 50 minutes. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. J. Gomucio squirmed through their central defence after 53 minutes, increasing the lead to 8 - 0. bonkebonk managed to extend their lead to 9 - 0 when N. Tzenov cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. bonkebonk solidified their lead at the 66 minute mark, as G. Megnis dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 10 - 0. It was obvious that team bonkebonk had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in bonkebonk's A. Stuy increasing the lead to 11 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to bonkebonk, who controlled the ball 92 percent of the time.

bonkebonk's top performer was clearly G. Megnis. However, G. Huter made a disastrous appearance. laleh254's best player was A. van Dierendonck. On the other hand, B. Harteveld's play was disheartening. The match ends 11 - 0.
