Loom saw most attack opportunities on the wings. The terraces were silenced after 5 minutes when Loom's J. Pasquier put the guests ahead 0 - 1, following an attack on the right. Some fine passing in the middle of the pitch, carving open the away defence, should have led to a goal for Abiratas, but J. Harto's shot went over the bar. Abiratas's W. de Grip made an attempt at equalising 30 minutes into the match, coming in from the right, but the ball hit the post and the defence easily cleared the rebound. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from J. Lampola after 31 minutes, and prevented Loom from going up another goal. Abiratas's counterattacks created a good chance for S. Pen on the right after 32 minutes, but he could only look on with dismay as his strike rebounded off the crossbar. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. Loom enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 58 percent of possession.

A. Weijns got a fingertip on N. Gellert's shot from the left 58 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. The Abiratas players listened closely to their manager, as he gave new tactical instructions for the team. After 78 minutes, Abiratas used a short break in the game to take new instructions from their coach. Loom's N. Gellert refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 82 minutes. After 83 minutes of game time, I. N'Diaye had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but A. Weijns was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. Loom claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 59 percent.

Most important Abiratas player was K. Bogdány. A. Ryge on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Loom player was without a doubt S. Gulev. However, H. Kirotar made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 1.
