Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) 7 minutes into the match, Predators's goal looked a bit too open when David Eikelkamp came free, but Uchenna Panter reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After having played for 8 minutes, Wim Wilmes managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Netherlands's supporters crossed their fingers, but Wim Wilmes was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Predators's Uchenna Panter played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Gustaaf Groeneveldt in the 10th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Netherlands's Bas Tuitert got a free kick in the 11th minute. After 19 minutes of play, Netherlands's Wim Wilmes made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Uchenna Panter was left in no man's land by his defense there! If Gijsbert ter Kruimer had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 23rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 25th minute Gustaaf Groeneveldt shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Uchenna Panter saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

In the 28th minute, Buğra Tuğlu got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Uchenna Panter took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Wim Wilmes, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 36 minutes into the game, Zlatan Back was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Predators's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Netherlands the free kick. After 36 played minutes Predators got a freekick which was hit by Zlatan Back. If Gustaaf Groeneveldt had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Uchenna Panter showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Gustaaf Groeneveldt, who was totally free with the ball in the 43rd minute. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Gijsbert ter Kruimer made a kick off. 55 minutes into the match, Netherlands's Gustaaf Groeneveldt sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Uchenna Panter narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

Arnout Reekers showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Cyryl Bojanowski, who was totally free with the ball in the 67th minute. In the 68th minute of the match Predators got a corner. Netherlands's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Gylippus Nikolakakos ran over to the corner to take the kick. Uchenna Panter made a fantastic save in the 72nd minute, when Wim Wilmes sent off a good shot on target. An unexpectedly hard shot by Lars Meesters in the 73rd minute of play forced Predators's goalkeeper Uchenna Panter to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Zlatan Back lost his temper 81 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. After 80 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Predators! The goalkeeper, Uchenna Panter, was totally fooled by Netherlands's Gijsbert ter Kruimer, who 82 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. Uchenna Panter came out of the goal in the 85th minute to try and stop a shot by Netherlands's Wim Wilmes. But to his dismay, Wim Wilmes quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-4. Arnout Reekers made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Çakır Yağızbay in the 88th minute of play. Gustaaf Groeneveldt's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Uchenna Panter firmly grabbed it by the left post. After 96 played minutes Predators got a freekick which was hit by Alkın Ateş. Gijsbert ter Kruimer struck a weak shot in the 97th minute. Uchenna Panter didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Netherlands.
