Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Hershel Guertin made the kick off which started today's match. If Gijsbert ter Kruimer had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. FC CZARNUCHY's Brendan Leblanc played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Gijsbert ter Kruimer in the 4th minute of play. Ronaldinho Joinvilense came free with the goalkeeper in the 11th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Arnout Reekers could save by the left post. In the 15th minute the ball was on its way in behind FC CZARNUCHY's goalkeeper Brendan Leblanc, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After some fancy dribbling in the 16th minute, Wim Wilmes managed to get in a good position for a shot. Netherlands's supporters rose to their feet, but Wim Wilmes was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Brendan Leblanc breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 22nd minute, Gust Ennemans hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Arnout Reekers made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Hershel Guertin in the 25th minute of play. In the 27th minute Gustaaf Groeneveldt shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Brendan Leblanc saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Gijsbert ter Kruimer came up free with the goalie in the 29th minute, the Netherlands 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 Gijsbert ter Kruimer couldn't finish the play. Arnout Reekers made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Hershel Guertin in the 31st minute of play. If Gustaaf Groeneveldt had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Wim Wilmes in the 41st minute of play forced FC CZARNUCHY's goalkeeper Brendan Leblanc to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Brendan Leblanc took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Gustaaf Groeneveldt, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

FC CZARNUCHY's Dennis Bergkamp was substituted for Ronaldinho Joinvilense. The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Gijsbert ter Kruimer stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Hershel Guertin hit a great freekick 58 minutes into the match. Arnout Reekers made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Dennis Bergkamp in the 68th minute of play. In the 76th minute Gijsbert ter Kruimer shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Brendan Leblanc saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 79th minute, Gijsbert ter Kruimer ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Brendan Leblanc was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-2. Netherlands's Lars Meesters got a good chance for a goal in the 86th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Gijsbert ter Kruimer fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 88th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Brendan Leblanc having to interfere. Arnout Reekers made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Alex Isak in the 92nd minute of play. Alex Isak took the ball and in the 92 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Arnout Reekers. Arnout Reekers dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-2. If Alex Isak had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 95th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, FC CZARNUCHY's Kent Godin got a free kick in the 96th minute. Gust Ennemans kicked well hit freekick during the 97th minute of the match. The FC CZARNUCHY fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Netherlands were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
