Keiberg immediately set off using their skill at pressing their opponents. After 1 minutes, the Keiberg coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving S. Farenc off the field. M. van der Maat took his place. 1 minutes into the game, Keiberg wanted to bring some new energy to their game. H. Vedersø gave D. Mutis a quick hug as he left the field. As the 4 minute mark approached, the Keiberg coach decided it was time for a substitution. M. van der Maat reluctantly made way for N. Hrnjičić on the pitch. 14 minutes into the match, the technically gifted M. Zetber of fcantwerp scored 0 - 1, having made F. Guiro look like a complete fool. With 20 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed J. Balaščík of fcantwerp to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 2. fcantwerp's opponents know to be wary of J. Balaščík's speed, but it made little difference as he flew past the defence 21 minutes into the game. Only the keeper could stop him - and he did with a perfectly timed dive! fcantwerp's J. Průšek made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 33 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender slid in and cleared the ball off the line. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, R. Thomassen would have put fcantwerp up another goal 37 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. After 39 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave M. Zetber a chance to increase the lead for fcantwerp, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 3. It was 0 - 3 at the break. fcantwerp enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 80 percent of possession.

With 58 minutes played, fcantwerp put themselves up 0 - 4 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was J. Balaščík. With 64 minutes played, S. Jouve nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. The home crowd was not impressed when M. Zetber came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 76 minutes. fcantwerp were now up 0 - 5. At that, M. Zetber was noted down for a hat trick! At this point, it was obvious that the players of fcantwerp lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. After 78 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for J. Průšek who increased fcantwerp's lead to 0 - 6. Possession in this half belonged to fcantwerp, who controlled the ball 82 percent of the time.
