Groen tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination. Lineup: Winnubst - Boekhoff, Hekman, Moldestad, Navis - Zwaaf, Hesse, Dubard, van der Graft, van der Hoop - Albers.

Ocean tried to focus their attacks down the middle. Groen were determined to use their long shot ability. Ocean took the lead 8 minutes into the game by 1 - 0, as 陶. 楠兴 (Nanxing) elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. As V. Hesse had, completely unprovoked, swept the legs out from under an opponent in front of a linesman, the referee gave the Groen player a red card without batting an eyelid. 31 minutes into the game, O. Meyer had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came J. Jiménez Quirós. The Ocean captaincy was handed to 陶. 楠兴 (Nanxing) . Ocean were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Ocean's J. Jiménez Quirós increasing the lead to 2 - 0. Ocean's M. Yousuf got himself booked for a foul. A. Dubard of Groen had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. L. Gorgone came in to finish the match. Ocean were given a gift! The ref dubiously awarded them a penalty 41 minutes into the match, which was neatly put away by 陶. 楠兴 (Nanxing) . 3 - 0 for the home side. After this, you could see that the players of Ocean were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. S. Marques behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 42 minutes as he gave the ball away to Y. Albers. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. Ocean solidified their lead at the 43 minute mark, as E. Glathe dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 4 - 0. 4 - 0 was the score after the first half. Ocean had most of the ball, with 76 percent of possession.

D. Juhana dispatched a majestic long shot 52 minutes into the match, but missed the goal by a few metres. The home side's 陶. 楠兴 (Nanxing) curled a free kick home after 67 minutes, putting Ocean ahead 5 - 0. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for 陶. 楠兴 (Nanxing) . After 69 minutes, following yet another great corner, A. Lizárraga's flick on at the near post reached L. Schmitt, who was just wide with his snapshot - the ball went out for a goal kick. L. Schmitt should probably have put his team up another goal after 70 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by M. Winnubst kept the visitors in the game. Ocean claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 77 percent.

The most dominating Ocean player was without a doubt M. Yousuf. However, P. Kestler made a disastrous appearance. Y. Albers performed admirably for Groen. L. Gorgone on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 5 - 0.
