Clouds darkened the skies at 't Pleintje as 492 spectators turned up for the match. Lieven Harmide was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Raffaele Wehinger and Ton Piens. KONTICH started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Aelbers - Van Der Stighelen, De Schepper, Meuleman - Moukoko, Verbruggen, Tijpels, Willemen, Neyt - Debeuf, Delva.

poinTTurk decided to use a 5-3-2 set up. Starters: Berfin - Jaroszyk, Schlosser, Löw, Deteşan, Mahmudov - Kahraman, Tığlı, Oropesa - Akova, Er.

KONTICH clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. poinTTurk saw most attack opportunities on the wings. L. Schlosser received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 13 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. Many thought R. Meuleman ought to have been awarded a penalty 17 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around S. Berfin after a determined run through the middle. 27 minutes into the game, KONTICH had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to passable. poinTTurk almost scored after a counterattack 31 minutes into the match, but T. Oropesa took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side of the net. KONTICH's M. Moukoko got himself booked for a foul. Due to a severely mistimed tackle, P. Jaroszyk of poinTTurk spent some time on the grass writhing in agony before he could get up and continue the game. poinTTurk's L. Schlosser could have put the guests one up after 34 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but N. Aelbers was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. It was obvious that poinTTurk had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 38 minutes into the match, and B. Er wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. After 43 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed U. Akova to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 2. 0 - 2 was the score after the first half. poinTTurk had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

The KONTICH players spent the break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organisation and regained a solid organisation when the game started again. B. Er left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 46 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. M. Kırtay was the replacement. Content with how the game was proceeding, the poinTTurk coach let K. Soyutürk replace T. Oropesa after 46 minutes. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from E. Kahraman after 57 minutes, and prevented poinTTurk from going up another goal. İ. Tığlı of poinTTurk received a yellow card after 65 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. 67 minutes in, KONTICH appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only passable. With 86 minutes played, J. Löw of poinTTurk fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by poinTTurk, with 53 percent of the ball.

KONTICH's best player was B. Debeuf. On the other hand, M. Moukoko's play was disheartening. poinTTurk's top performer was clearly Ə. Mahmudov. J. Löw was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 2.
