For their match strategy, Hawaiian_Boys had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave M. Quintano from Knightleys a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 2 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Some great play up the middle by Knightleys led to a chance for K. Heding to score after 15 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. 27 minutes into the game, G. Muñoz Ramos was a hair's breadth away from giving Hawaiian_Boys the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by Z. Pereira Mota saved the home team that time. Hawaiian_Boys's L. Moskiewski was shown a yellow card after 28 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Many thought E. Słowikowski ought to have been awarded a penalty 31 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around J. Horsky after a determined run through the middle. The celebrations in the stands could only mean one thing - G. Detiger's free kick had found the back of the net and put Knightleys ahead 1 - 0! 1 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to Knightleys, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.

Knightleys's K. Osewski swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. J. Bear showed why he is feared on the counterattack, breaking through in the middle and scoring for Hawaiian_Boys after 51 minutes to make the score 1 - 1. The terraces were silenced after 55 minutes when Hawaiian_Boys's F. Kocot put the guests ahead 1 - 2, following an attack on the right. After 56 minutes, D. Pérez Cerro made a dash down the middle past the away team's defenders to score the goal that made it 2 - 2. Knightleys's G. Detiger was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 58 minutes. 70 minutes into the game, S. Daniëls had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came F. Shuller. The guests almost went up by a goal after 72 minutes when H. van Nes came through and shot from the right. The ball bounced harmlessly off the post, though. Knightleys created a good opportunity to score 75 minutes into the match when K. Osewski's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Knightleys, with 58 percent of the ball.

Knightleys's best player was E. Słowikowski. Z. Pereira Mota on the other hand, had a terrible day. Hawaiian_Boys's top performer was clearly F. Kocot. However, A. Arlati made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 2.
