Dark skies made the crowd of 19267 at Bierarena a little nervous, but the rain held off. Héctor Ansaldo was the appointed referee. Everyone was excited about the upcoming Oost-Vlaanderen derby and the crowd was divided evenly. stampers decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Starters: Camarda - Peres, Sidor, Kulka - Sielicki, Cardinale, Balle, Groh, Gautier - Delchev, Finjaer.

wieze started off with a 2-5-3 lineup. They fielded: Sabić - Nemanjić, Tobback - Zwaan, Filipe, Demesmaeker, Astengo, Wauters - Chillemi, Latruwe, Balder.

stampers seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Some great play up the middle by stampers led to a chance for I. Finjaer to score after 12 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. Making his way up the middle 20 minutes into the match, I. Peres almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert R. Sabić blocked it to keep the score level. stampers's P. Delchev tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. stampers fans held their breath as C. Cardinale scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 1 - 0! M. Wauters of wieze received a yellow card after 27 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. In a rapid move 28 minutes into the match, M. Wauters of wieze lost his man and passed the ball to the unmarked G. Chillemi who easily hit it home to make it 1 - 1. Luckily the ref didn't see him taunting the opposing fans in celebration - naughty boy! After a fine move down the middle P. Delchev nearly gave the home side a goal after 37 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. It was 1 - 1 at the break. stampers had most of the ball, with 66 percent of possession.

stampers were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. Many thought C. Cardinale ought to have been awarded a penalty 83 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around R. Sabić after a determined run through the middle. The visiting M. Astengo was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 86 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 1 - 2 was the score. P. Delchev charged down the left and had a wonderful opportunity to score the equaliser for stampers, but the shot went well wide of the goal. stampers tried to even things up by sending a long ball towards the centrally placed strikers, but the visitors' defence got the best of this rather direct style of play. With the clock showing 88 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of wieze resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by M. Latruwe in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by stampers, with 66 percent of the ball.

Most important stampers player was P. Delchev. However, I. Gautier made a disastrous appearance. wieze's top performer was clearly R. Balder. M. Wauters was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 2.
