D. Vardītis was very close to giving shimmings the lead with an ingenious free kick routine 57 minutes into the match, but the ball just grazed the bar. Coming in from the right, cliverpool had a good opportunity to convert on a counterattack after 61 minutes, but V. Phạm's attempt to finish was easily stopped. After 76 minutes, S. Kersey sent the corner kick right to S. Chilvers who headed it sharply past the keeper. 0 - 1! After 80 minutes shimmings's R. Papp limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. A swift counterattack by cliverpool resulted in a free kick that S. Kersey elegantly twisted into the goal - 0 - 2! There was concern in the stands when, at the 87 minute mark, cliverpool's P. Jacobs hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. V. Phạm was in the clear after breaking the offside trap following a cliverpool counterattack from the left after 88 minutes. His neat finish made the score 0 - 3. At this point, it was obvious that the players of cliverpool lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Possession in this half belonged to shimmings, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.

The most dominating shimmings player was without a doubt B. Kok. A. Czekajski was a disappointment, however. cliverpool's top performer was clearly G. Burns. P. Jacobs on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 3.
