1645 spectators had come to Gilloteam stadium this cloudy day. Martin Sigismund Reichwein was the appointed referee with assistance provided by György Dobrovits and Josef Wieser. Gilloteam tactics involved an interesting 5-3-2 combination. The following players took the field: Eykerman - De Schuiteneer, Missotten, Backbier, Takki, Lohmann - Manea, Froeyen, Delfino - Decancq, Schirru.

balsateam started off with a 2-4-3 lineup. Starters: Nizet - Schuermans, Libin - Van Haelst, Uytterhoeven, Van Der Fraenen, Hanegraef - Onofrei, Pasman, Fanigliulo.

The terraces were silenced after 14 minutes when balsateam's W. Hanegraef put the guests ahead 0 - 1, following an attack on the right. balsateam's W. Uytterhoeven missed a penalty shot 22 minutes into the contest. The shot produced was way too weak, allowing the keeper to collect it at his own leisure. 23 minutes in, balsateam appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only inadequate. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Gilloteam, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

Despite his frustration resulting in the smashing of a few teacups, the coach of balsateam was able to get his message across, and raised balsateam's organisation to solid. After 58 minutes of play, E. Froeyen evened things up for Gilloteam with an impressive goal coming up the middle. 1 - 1. W. Hanegraef hit the corner kick straight to the keeper, but it was mishandled, giving balsateam's F. Fanigliulo an easy chance to knock it in for 1 - 2. A. Van Haelst was, after 60 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper A. Eykerman made the save. With 66 minutes played, P. Van Der Fraenen of balsateam fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. The referee showed balsateam's M. Onofrei the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. D. Backbier of Gilloteam had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. A. Oppes came in to finish the match. balsateam increased the lead to 1 - 3 as W. Uytterhoeven scored from the penalty spot, putting the ball in near the top left corner. 80 minutes into the game, balsateam had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to inadequate. F. Fanigliulo's speed was almost enough to give balsateam a goal after 81 minutes, but his nice pass to C. Pasman was not taken care of properly. With 84 minutes played, Gilloteam's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to P. Decancq he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 2 - 3. Gilloteam's N. De Schuiteneer put his head to a well placed ball, lifted in from the left, and scored to make the score 3 - 3 with 86 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock. 88 minutes into the game, M. Onofrei was a hair's breadth away from giving balsateam the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by A. Eykerman saved the home team that time. Gilloteam enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.

Gilloteam's best player was B. Takki. However, I. Manea made a disastrous appearance. Most important balsateam player was C. Pasman. C. Nizet on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 3.
