Starters: Kardolus - Miravalls, Llusià, Fenzi - Cieślicki, Vik, Gortaire, Planasdemunt, Valstar - van Loo, Mountadar.

After 36 minutes Lehmays's
H. Vik contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game.
37 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for ayndho was
J. Wotte.
It was a hot and sunny day, and several players seemed worn out. Maybe this was why
E. Wagenmakers found an unusual amount of space for his snappy footwork.
Lehmays's
D. Cieślicki was shown a yellow card after 43 minutes for slicing down an opponent.
Lehmays had a chance to level the score as
O. Mountadar suddenly found himself free in the middle of the box with only the keeper to beat, but he misjudged the finish, and only managed to hit the bar.
The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0.
Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Lehmays, with 52 percent of the ball.
R. Oudeman had a fantastic opportunity to put ayndho up another goal 55 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar.
After several obvious shirt pulling incidents,
S. Valstar got himself booked. The manager of Lehmays was not happy.
A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of ayndho to 2 - 0 as
S. Breteler finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle.
Lehmays's
D. Cieślicki was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the opposition's box -
O. Mountadar managed to volley one of them into the net to make it 2 - 1 after 78 minutes.
With 79 minutes gone, ayndho had a free kick in a decent position. Despite this being a great chance for a shot, they tried a cheeky move intended to bypass the defence. However,
D. Lagerweij did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out.
ayndho enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.
ayndho's best player was
V. Brinkhuis.
S. Breteler was a disappointment, however.
L. van Loo performed admirably for Lehmays.
D. Cieślicki on the other hand, had a terrible day.
The match ends 2 - 1.
