Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Ray Luyten took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 5th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Luke Dauwe. FC smokers's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Ruud Van Gorp sent away a hard shot on goal in the 7th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 16th of the match, Georges Baert tried to place the ball in the upper right corner, but Reinard Vrijdags got in the way and made a wonderful save. After 20 minutes, Lionel Gilis mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Heiende and the FC smokers players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 20th match minute, Heiende was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Lionel Gilis to maneuver through the defense. After a rather tough play, Heiende's Lionel Gilis got a free kick in the 23rd minute. If Kristof Brabant had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 30 minutes, Ruud Van Gorp managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Heiende's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ruud Van Gorp was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 36th minute, Niels Docx hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 44 minutes into the match, FC smokers's Jaspar Van Leemputten sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Reinard Vrijdags narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Kristof Brabant to make the kick off. When Sammy Stuckens fell near the penalty area in the 55th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Heiende's protests and gave Sammy Stuckens a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Heiende getting a freekick after 55 minutes play. Sammy Stuckens hit a great ball. Jaspar Van Leemputten fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 59th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Reinard Vrijdags having to interfere. When Kristof Brabant came up free with the goalie in the 63rd minute, the Heiende fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Kristof Brabant couldn't finish the play. Kristof Brabant might have been able to make a better finish in the 64th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Luke Dauwe. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Kristof Brabant ran back to his position shaking his head. Jerry de Pelsmacker fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 68th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Reinard Vrijdags having to interfere.
