KERATSONA saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for ORANIEFUNS. After 7 minutes, ORANIEFUNS's M. Henriksson made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. ORANIEFUNS's A. Golm refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 9 minutes. KERATSONA had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. After a fatal mistake from the away team's right side defence 12 minutes into the match, an alert F. Sotir bagged the ball for KERATSONA, levelling the score to 1 - 1. Halftime score was 1 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by KERATSONA, with 53 percent of the ball.

Attacking on the wings was the choice for KERATSONA, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. KERATSONA fans held their breath as H. Harfeld scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 2 - 1! ORANIEFUNS's A. van Ostade got himself booked for a foul. KERATSONA's V. Saarnilahti had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 69 minutes having been played. P. Kostner was the replacement. With 74 minutes played, KERATSONA's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to F. Sotir he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 3 - 1. F. Barreau unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. E. Oksar had a fantastic opportunity to put KERATSONA up another goal 82 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. Good work by the ORANIEFUNS defensive line after 83 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found M. Henriksson alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. KERATSONA enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

The most dominating KERATSONA player was without a doubt F. Marrucci. P. Kostner was a disappointment, however. Most important ORANIEFUNS player was T. Sojo. On the other hand, S. Pettersen's play was disheartening. The match ends 3 - 1.
