The wings were the focus of most of RITORNO's attacks today. RITORNO were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. Shrekens took the lead 32 minutes in, as J. Kassinen broke through on the left and put the 1 - 0 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. With 39 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, E. Migneot needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. J. Iturbe Cano's name was chanted throughout the stadium after he made a fantastic save from A. Cozzella's shot from the left 43 minutes into the match. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0. RITORNO had most of the ball, with 57 percent of possession.

After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, H. Clark got himself booked. The manager of RITORNO was not happy. M. Gennaro was called on to replace RITORNO's A. Cozzella after 82 minutes following a nasty collision. RITORNO enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 60 percent of possession.

Most important Shrekens player was Y. De Cock. On the other hand, P. Paauwe's play was disheartening. The most dominating RITORNO player was without a doubt J. Vunderink. V. Teodoro on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 0.
