The wings were the focus of most of Boyhs's attacks today. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 15 minutes into the match, and D. MacConacher 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. Boyhs's J. Brylski refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 21 minutes. scheracles made it 0 - 2 as Z. Piskorski got a touch to the floated corner kick and flicked the ball to V. Gilliam who whipped a low drive in off the far post. V. Gilliam of scheracles received a yellow card after 24 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. The home crowd was not impressed when Z. Piskorski came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 29 minutes. scheracles were now up 0 - 3. By now, the players in scheracles felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. After 31 minutes, Boyhs's C. Mossay fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! M. Gussner could have put his team up another goal 32 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. Halftime score was 0 - 3. scheracles claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 69 percent.

After 78 minutes, scheracles's J. Monsaert burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 4. After 82 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed Z. Piskorski to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 5. scheracles increased their lead after 86 minutes when J. Monsaert broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 6, much to the home crowd's dismay. L. Noronha sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from J. Monsaert after 88 minutes of play, making the score 0 - 7. After the ball was lifted in from the left, P. Roda was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 89 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. scheracles enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 69 percent of possession.

Boyhs's best player was K. van Vleuten. G. Duran on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important scheracles player was V. Dobrovský. On the other hand, E. Kroeze's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 7.
