Clouds darkened the skies at footbowl as 58250 spectators turned up for the match. Jolan Niclaus was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Wolfgang Xu and Anders Håkansson. 30STM tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination. Lineup: Dalum - von Weshphalen, Mariotte, Hansson, Pottiez - Catafal, Strużek, Kaljunen, Cejudo, Van Ingelgem - Primerano.

STVV decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Starters: Sobis - Gournay, Fourmont, Beyaert - Puentes, Ninane, De Scheirder, Zollinger, Leeuwen - Vansummeren, van Vollenhoven.

STVV used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. T. Vansummeren had a good try after 9 minutes, coming in on a fine move from the left, but the ball went wide. Many thought E. Catafal ought to have been awarded a penalty 10 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around C. Sobis after a determined run through the middle. T. Vansummeren came close to putting the visiting team one up 23 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but S. Dalum managed to tip the ball to a corner. After 32 minutes, B. von Weshphalen came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving 30STM the lead. 34 minutes into the game, A. Primerano finished off a 30STM left wing counterattack, making the score 2 - 0. 30STM's E. Catafal made use of his speed to get free of the defence, but he still couldn't get a shot off 35 minutes into the match. B. Pottiez struck a 30 metre free kick home 36 minutes into the match. 3 - 0 for the home team. After this, you could see that the players of 30STM were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. It was 3 - 0 at the break. 30STM had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

56 minutes into the game, F. Strużek had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came V. Téllez. 30STM put in a good effort on the right, but A. Mariotte saw his volley fly wide of the mark 66 minutes into the game. After 67 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by M. Cejudo might have resulted in another goal for 30STM. However, C. Sobis made a spectacular save. Possession in this half belonged to 30STM, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.

Most important 30STM player was A. Primerano. E. Catafal was a disappointment, however. S. Ninane performed admirably for STVV. R. Beyaert turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 0.
