It had rained all day, but 9554 hardy fans still made it out to FR12 Kuip. Jiří D. Vašek was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Xavier Izaga and Carlos Velardez. FR12 tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. The following players took the field: Mizera - Tartaglino, Schmid, Bettinger, Colica - Brocks, Torringa, Câmpean, Houmøller - Kivinen, Gutjahr.

Steenwijk started off with a 2-5-3 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Bergfeld - Ştaier, Noqueira - Delucchi, Hillmann, Folini, Vandroemme, Patjas - Ginobili, Pivnenko, Carides.

FR12 mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. Steenwijk were determined to use their long shot ability. FR12 were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. T. Brocks caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 8 minutes. This gave FR12 the 1 - 0 lead. FR12 managed to extend their lead to 2 - 0 when A. Tartaglino cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. E. Gutjahr squirmed through their central defence after 28 minutes, increasing the lead to 3 - 0. Cheers filled the stadium as E. Gutjahr broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 4 - 0 to FR12. The teams went for the halftime break at 4 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by FR12, with 79 percent of the ball.

It was obvious that team FR12 had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in FR12's N. Kivinen increasing the lead to 5 - 0. After this, you could see that the players of FR12 were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. The FR12 free kick 53 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of B. Houmøller, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 6 - 0! Steenwijk's P. Carides got himself booked for a foul. Unfortunately for FR12, T. Brocks was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. M. Overdijk replaced him. The boggy pitch disrupted the game, especially for technical players like C. Noqueira. 82 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as N. Kivinen broke through, making the score 7 - 0 for FR12. With 83 minutes played, P. Câmpean of FR12 fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. FR12 increased the lead as M. Overdijk struck to make the score 8 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. FR12 players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. FR12 solidified their lead at the 85 minute mark, as E. Gutjahr dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 9 - 0. At that, E. Gutjahr was noted down for a hat trick! FR12 claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 84 percent.

Most important FR12 player was P. Câmpean. On the other hand, A. Tartaglino's play was disheartening. The most dominating Steenwijk player was without a doubt M. Pivnenko. However, C. Noqueira made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 9 - 0.
