It was an obvious ambition of Vogels to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. 0 - 1 was the score with 6 minutes played, after A. Goldschmitz cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Bodyrockin. E. Katmer of Bodyrockin took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 20 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 2. In a rapid move 40 minutes into the match, E. Katmer of Bodyrockin lost his man and passed the ball to the unmarked B. Wouters who easily hit it home to make it 0 - 3. Luckily the ref didn't see him taunting the opposing fans in celebration - naughty boy! Had it not been for one of the home defenders, S. Koelman would have put Bodyrockin up another goal 41 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. Some fine movement on the left led to a Bodyrockin goal after 42 minutes, making it 0 - 4. E. Katmer was noted down as the scorer. 0 - 4 was the score after the first half. Bodyrockin claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 56 percent.

The home crowd was not impressed when B. Wouters came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 59 minutes. Bodyrockin were now up 0 - 5. The visitors' W. Molleman took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 66 minutes into the match. 0 - 6 for Bodyrockin. By now, the players in Bodyrockin felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. 73 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 7 as S. Koelman finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. D. Bloemhard rose like a salmon, and was very close to scoring with a header after a corner, but sent the ball just over the bar. Vogels's K. Rahman was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the opposition's box - D. Demas managed to volley one of them into the net to make it 1 - 7 after 80 minutes. D. Grootings was called on to replace Bodyrockin's D. Bloemhard after 86 minutes following a nasty collision. Vogels reduced the lead to 2 - 7 with 87 minutes on the clock when M. Beek got the best of a ball floated in from the left. Possession in this half belonged to Vogels, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

The most dominating Vogels player was without a doubt D. Demas. M. Beek was a disappointment, however. A. Goldschmitz performed admirably for Bodyrockin. However, D. Grootings made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 7.
