Blommywood were relying on their ability to counter-attack. They were singing the praises of E. Cabasés 35 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 1 - 0 to Blommywood. The home side's E. Cabasés came close to extending the lead 36 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but D. Wiertlewski managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. J. Forss could have increased the lead after 37 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. It was 1 - 0 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Blommywood, with 64 percent of the ball.

After 65 minutes, ooskappel raised their score by one when M. Pasman's dangerous low cross was cleverly tucked in at the near post by D. Bladér. 1 - 1. The home side put themselves ahead 2 - 1 after 67 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from F. Mikulić, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. T. van Uijtregt of Blommywood was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Blommywood's J. Forss swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. The sunny day didn't make things easy for X. Vilaseca who didn't seem his usual powerful self on the pitch. Cheers filled the stadium as J. Gasse broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 3 - 1 to Blommywood. Blommywood's L. Sherlock got himself booked for a foul. ooskappel's S. Popa went down after a savage challenge, but could continue playing after some medical attention. L. Sherlock of Blommywood seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 4 - 1 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by E. Cabasés. M. Pío should probably have put his team up another goal after 88 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by D. Wiertlewski kept the visitors in the game. Blommywood's E. Cabasés was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 89 minutes. Blommywood had most of the ball, with 62 percent of possession.

Most important Blommywood player was J. Forss. T. van Uijtregt turned in a dismal performance, however. M. Pasman performed admirably for ooskappel. On the other hand, D. Wiertlewski's play was disheartening. The match ends 4 - 1.
