Khazad-dûm started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: van Muiswinkel - Bergeon, Muntinga, Özcan - Nesta, Seipuls, Hommes, Schurink, Caldara - Matos, Zacharidis.

Khazad-dûm were relying on their ability to counter-attack. After 10 minutes of play, D. Görges gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. E. Luciani could have put Langerak up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 20 minutes. With 23 minutes played, Langerak put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to M. Padilla, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. Halftime score was 2 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Langerak, who controlled the ball 67 percent of the time.

With 78 minutes played, Langerak's O. Bölk almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. Langerak claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 71 percent.

The most dominating Langerak player was without a doubt O. Bölk. E. Luciani was a disappointment, however. Khazad-dûm's best player was R. Muntinga. On the other hand, J. Hommes's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 0.
