They fielded: Vana - Vozzi, Van Eylen, Gravalosa, Häring - Venetis, Wasseuil, Santos, Verstrepen - Paridaens, Rees.

cavad decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Vasconcelos - Rubio, Tüzün, Baltag - Croze, Równiak, Ceresi, Wall, Jędrychowski - Rovandi, Solana.

cerkelboys mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 2 minutes into the match, and F. Ceresi 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. T. Rovandi received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 29 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 2. The cavad fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. By now, the players in cavad felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. With 30 minutes played, cavad put themselves up 0 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was M. Wall. Halftime score was 0 - 3. Possession in this half belonged to cavad, who controlled the ball 73 percent of the time.

47 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 4 as G. Tüzün finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. After 60 minutes, cerkelboys switched R. Wasseuil with G. Vermeylen, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. cavad's F. Croze made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 60 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender slid in and cleared the ball off the line. The bench was restless, and with 70 minutes passed cerkelboys's coach gave D. Scornaienchi the opportunity the player had been hoping for. D. Paridaens reluctantly left the field. A. Równiak came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over J. Vana but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. With 74 minutes played, the cerkelboys coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. R. Van De Calseyde came on, A. Venetis had to leave the fray. cavad increased their lead after 80 minutes when G. Tüzün broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 5, much to the home crowd's dismay. cavad enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 78 percent of possession.

cerkelboys's top performer was clearly B. Rees. H. Van Eylen was a disappointment, however. Most important cavad player was M. Wall. F. Jędrychowski turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 5.
