Joypower tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Heitz - Cavalieri, Oget, De Ruyver - Kong Wan, Debunne, Ward, Hageman, Alexiev - Heublein, Porceddu.

Joypower mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. L. Ganseuer really should have scored when he was chosen by fate to confront a wide open goal following a great play by M. Bjelopavlić after a corner. sjottema broke through on the left 33 minutes into the game, with K. Handrich firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave G. Ward from Joypower a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 37 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! 41 minutes into the game, J. Legrand had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came W. Van Eenoo. After 42 minutes, G. La Porta put sjottema ahead 2 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in sjottema's F. Fini increasing the lead to 3 - 0. J. Bugaj increased the lead for sjottema to 4 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of sjottema to 5 - 0 as T. Siopoudis finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. Confident in their lead, sjottema's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. It was 5 - 0 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to sjottema, who controlled the ball 53 percent of the time.

60 minutes into the game, Joypower's attack got through on the right, but J. Heublein couldn't handle the ball and his feeble kick wound up in the keeper's arms. Given a free kick close to the byline, sjottema tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let L. Ganseuer slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 6 - 0, 66 minutes into the game. The sjottema players could smell victory in the air. L. Kasowski wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for J. Guyomard after 70 minutes. The referee showed Joypower's N. Oget the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. sjottema enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 56 percent of possession.

R. Castilleja performed admirably for sjottema. F. Chardon on the other hand, had a terrible day. Joypower's top performer was clearly S. Hageman. G. Ward turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 6 - 0.
