Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Gijsbert ter Kruimer made the kick off which started today's match. Arnout Reekers showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Fausto Montel in the 4th minute of the match. Fausto Montel was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 7th minute. New Loser FC's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Lars Meesters's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but 김 담 read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 13th minute of play. After 16 minutes Netherlands's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Matias Viña who took care of the corner kick. A nice corner shot did that Matias Viña got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Arnout Reekers quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. In the 18th match minute, New Loser FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ruy Teles to maneuver through the defense. The supporters of New Loser FC booed when Netherlands was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 20 match minutes in a wonderful position. Lars Meesters didn't get a good kick on the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ruy Teles in the 21st minute of play forced Netherlands's goalkeeper Arnout Reekers to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 김 담 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Gijsbert ter Kruimer, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Netherlands's Gustaaf Groeneveldt got a good chance for a goal in the 25th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 32 minutes into the match, Netherlands's goalkeeper Arnout Reekers had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ruy Teles. Matias Viña sent away a hard shot on goal in the 36th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 38th minute of the match New Loser FC 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. Matias Viña ran over to the corner to take the kick. In the 44th minute Gijsbert ter Kruimer shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 김 담 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a rather tough play, Netherlands's Wim Wilmes got a free kick in the 47th minute.

In the 75th minute the ball was on its way in behind Netherlands's goalkeeper Arnout Reekers, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 82 minutes into the match, Gijsbert ter Kruimer had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of 김 담. New Loser FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Gijsbert ter Kruimer was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-3. New Loser FC's Denílson Vides was substituted for Ezequiel Novaes. If Gijsbert ter Kruimer had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 86th minute.
