31 minutes in, Wotties's N. Wellenberg received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. E. Beringen enjoyed the sunshine and demonstrated his stunning technique over and over again. With 42 minutes played, Wotties's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to D. Hunze he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 0 - 1. chavalitos's R. Tukker put his head to a high ball coming in from the right after 44 minutes, but the ball went wide. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by chavalitos, with 56 percent of the ball.

With the crowd on their feet chanting wildly, some great moves down the right hand side after 63 minutes gave chavalitos a wonderful opportunity to level the score, and M. van Meer stepped up to the challenge. 1 - 1 1 - 2 was the score with 78 minutes played, after J. ten Bruggencate cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Wotties. It wasn't a good day at all for N. Wellenberg. His powerful style of play just didn't fit the bill on this warm day. After 84 minutes, chavalitos sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached R. Tukker, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 2 - 2. chavalitos took the lead 86 minutes into the game by 3 - 2, as A. van Stratum elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. chavalitos put themselves up 4 - 2 when A. van Stratum broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. chavalitos enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.

Most important chavalitos player was R. Tukker. E. Miramont on the other hand, had a terrible day. Wotties's best player was L. van Reemst. On the other hand, D. Kalff's play was disheartening. The match ends 4 - 2.
