Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for JS.Herstal. Lampopo broke through on the left 12 minutes into the game, with E. Massobrio firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. Coming from the right, E. Massobrio almost managed to score another goal for Lampopo, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. JS.Herstal had a great opportunity to score following a counterattack after 22 minutes, but V. Herkens's shot from the left sailed high over the bar. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. Z. De la Parra squirmed through their central defence after 29 minutes, increasing the lead to 2 - 0. H. Tankarian unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. JS.Herstal almost scored after a counterattack 36 minutes into the match, but V. Herkens took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side of the net. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Lampopo, with 60 percent of the ball.

Lampopo's S. De Gennaro had an excellent opportunity after 69 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave J. Lávička from Lampopo a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 83 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! After 84 minutes, E. Massobrio put Lampopo ahead 3 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. Some mind-boggling play by Z. De la Parra almost resulted in a goal for JS.Herstal, but L. Kwong Yiu's shot rebounded off the post. Lampopo put in a good effort on the right, but Z. De la Parra saw his volley fly wide of the mark 86 minutes into the game. With 88 minutes played, Lampopo's A. Fusina almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. Possession in this half belonged to Lampopo, who controlled the ball 64 percent of the time.

S. De Gennaro performed admirably for Lampopo. J. Nermo was a disappointment, however. The most dominating JS.Herstal player was without a doubt A. Vansantvoet. On the other hand, L. Kwong Yiu's play was disheartening. The match ends 3 - 0.
