11 minutes into the game, VV DHVDV seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to inadequate. Coming in from the right, VV DHVDV had a good opportunity to convert on a counterattack after 25 minutes, but A. Navarro's attempt to finish was easily stopped. VV DHVDV had a chance to take the lead after R. Michellena's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 29 minutes. Halftime score was 0 - 0. VV DHVDV claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

Despite his frustration resulting in the smashing of a few teacups, the coach of VV DHVDV was able to get his message across, and raised VV DHVDV's organisation to solid. C. Alderliefste would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. I. Ruffin entered the game for VV DHVDV as the match clock showed 46 minutes. After 46 minutes, the VV DHVDV coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving A. Navarro off the field. A. Nasser took his place. As the 46 minute mark approached, the Suflikari coach decided it was time for a substitution. A. Garaikoetxe reluctantly made way for M. Křemenák on the pitch. 58 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Suflikari substitution. J. Hejda came on for L. Freisler. Suflikari almost scored after a counterattack 72 minutes into the match, but T. Mikkonen took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side of the net. As the 74 minute mark approached, the Suflikari coach decided it was time for a substitution. T. Mikkonen reluctantly made way for V. Mujčin on the pitch. VV DHVDV were very close to putting themselves one up after 76 minutes as I. Ruffin got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. 79 minutes in, VV DHVDV appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only weak. Possession in this half belonged to VV DHVDV, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

With the scores being level after 90 minutes, the match went into extra time. During the break, VV DHVDV's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to solid organisation. With 92 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as A. Nasser flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. This put an end to extra time, making VV DHVDV the winners. The most dominating VV DHVDV player was without a doubt L. Crijns. On the other hand, B. van Beek's play was disheartening. Suflikari's top performer was clearly D. Bazala. N. D'Ambrosio turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 0.
