Today, Fanatieke's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. Fanatieke had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. Fanatieke had a good opportunity to take the lead as D. Guyon came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of T. Fayet. R. Madelin looked great 25 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' G. Nesim. Fanatieke made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left H. Brockkamp completely alone with keeper T. Fayet, who made a spectacular block. With 35 minutes played D. Guyon almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. Halftime score was 0 - 0. Fanatieke claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 55 percent.

Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 62 minutes into the match left Catharinas's D. Fogliaresi completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. İ. Artunç of Catharinas was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Catharinas's C. Hoylaerts made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 67 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. Fanatieke's F. Iribarren made a successful breakthrough on the left after 71 minutes and should have levelled the score, but instead he clipped it over the bar. The crowd chanted their encouragement as Fanatieke's Q. Delzenne came in from the right after 73 minutes and put the ball in the net to level the score at 1 - 1. Fanatieke enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.

Fanatieke's best player was L. Annon. R. Madelin on the other hand, had a terrible day. G. Nesim performed admirably for Catharinas. However, T. Klemenčič made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 1.
