With 19 minutes played, Bastille put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to C. Tack, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. After 22 minutes, B. Frencken sent the corner kick right to L. Blaauw who headed it sharply past the keeper. 3 - 0! After this, you could see that the players of Bastille were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Bastille increased the lead as W. Niederreuther struck to make the score 4 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. After 24 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and B. Frencken gave the Bastille supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 5 - 0. Bastille had to make a substitution after 39 minutes. S. Oost limped off the field and was replaced by H. Niessen. After 42 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by W. van der Graft might have resulted in another goal for Bastille. However, W. Ridder made a spectacular save. 5 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to Bastille, who controlled the ball 77 percent of the time.

C. Tack wanted to play on, but the Bastille coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 46 minutes into the game by H. Belezoğlu. Bastille solidified their lead at the 56 minute mark, as M. Adams dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 6 - 0. Given a free kick close to the byline, Bastille tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let M. Adams slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 7 - 0, 74 minutes into the game. After 77 minutes, H. Belezoğlu put Bastille ahead 8 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. P. Bak of Bastille received a yellow card after 80 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Bastille to 9 - 0 as M. Adams finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for M. Adams. Cheers filled the stadium as U. van Noord broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 10 - 0 to Bastille. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Bastille, with 82 percent of the ball.

M. Adams performed admirably for Bastille. On the other hand, W. Niederreuther's play was disheartening. absa1's top performer was clearly M. Gouda. W. Ridder on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 10 - 0.
