Vesa Komsi was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Marc Pascal Panenka and Pirkka Koli. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for grenelle. Lineup: Marraffa - Demeulenare, Seymour, Révol - Eltink, Sprzedajny, Stojadinov, Michels, Müller - Heard, Batog.

klein-sinaai decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Popescu - Vanderzyppe, 润卫 (Runwei) , Rodríguez Girón - Antille, Van Dommelen, Mbala, Deprez, Beloshevsky - Thiandoum, Roep.

温. 润卫 (Runwei) of klein-sinaai seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 0 - 1 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by R. Roep. I. Beloshevsky was doing a great job on his wing, sending in brilliant passes to his teammates in the middle, but S. Thiandoum seemed unable to profit from this excellent service. grenelle put pressure on the visitors' central defence 28 minutes into the game, but M. Müller couldn't find an opening. With 30 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed F. Antille of klein-sinaai to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 2. P. Batog was able to knock home a free kick after 34 minutes to make the score 1 - 2. H. Heard showed the skills that make him a real crowd pleaser as he, after 38 minutes, wove through the guests' entire central defence and put the 2 - 2 equaliser away. Halftime score was 2 - 2. grenelle had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

grenelle's A. Révol tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. With 51 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 3 - 2 lead as P. Batog flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave S. Thiandoum from klein-sinaai a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 66 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! 69 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as P. Batog broke through, making the score 4 - 2 for grenelle. By then P. Batog had scored three goals - a hat trick! grenelle solidified their lead at the 80 minute mark, as R. Michels dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 5 - 2. klein-sinaai had a fair chance to reply after 81 minutes due to some fine moves down the left, but in the end L. Mbala was slow to keep up with the play and was unable to make it into the penalty box to apply a finish. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by grenelle, with 58 percent of the ball.

grenelle's top performer was clearly H. Heard. M. Müller on the other hand, had a terrible day. S. Deprez performed admirably for klein-sinaai. F. Antille was a disappointment, however. The match ends 5 - 2.
