It was a bad day for the usually speedy M. Panunzio. The mud seemed to slow him down. The terraces were silenced after 17 minutes when Rodenburcht's I. Fellini put the guests ahead 0 - 1, following an attack on the right. With 19 minutes played, P. Porcelli nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. A drive down the left side allowed Y. van Diemen to get in close and score another goal for Rodenburcht after 21 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 2. With 33 minutes played, Rodenburcht put themselves up 0 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was M. Panunzio. After this, you could see that the players of Rodenburcht were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. A couple of inches to the right and T. Buist's free kick 40 minutes into the match would have resulted in the goal of the year for Piecken!. After 44 minutes, Rodenburcht felt secure enough to make a tactical change. P. Porcelli and E. Silves assumed each others positions on the field. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 3. Rodenburcht had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

G. Coe wanted to play on, but the Rodenburcht coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 52 minutes into the game by F. Haubjerg Scharling. R. Mingelen tried to get a goal back for Piecken! but despite all his hard work down the right, he just couldn't complete the move. The home crowd was not impressed when B. Toppel came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 79 minutes. Rodenburcht were now up 0 - 4. After 80 minutes, J. Moura Silva had a good opportunity to reduce the scoreline for Piecken! with a chance created through the middle, but wasn't cool enough. The ball went miles over the bar. F. Haubjerg Scharling came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over R. te Riele but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. Piecken! reduced the lead to 1 - 4 with 84 minutes on the clock when N. Mouwe got the best of a ball floated in from the left. The Rodenburcht players could smell victory in the air. I. Fellini wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for M. Svensen after 88 minutes. M. Panunzio left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 89 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. D. Hegelund was the replacement. This part of the game was a standoff between the teams in terms of possession.

Most important Piecken! player was T. Zoetemelk. However, P. Wakker made a disastrous appearance. Rodenburcht's best player was B. Toppel. D. Hegelund on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 4.
