Spectators: 41 (Terracing: 32, 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. In the 3rd minute Gustaaf Groeneveldt shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Adrian Kostrzewski saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 4th minute, CLUB ROSE GARDEN's Johannes Sjögren ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Arnout Reekers. Arnout Reekers yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-0. When Şener Kazan fell near the penalty area in the 8th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored CLUB ROSE GARDEN's protests and gave Şener Kazan a yellow card for diving instead. After 8 played minutes CLUB ROSE GARDEN got a freekick which was hit by Şener Kazan. Okanay Gazir kicked well hit freekick during the 13th minute of the match. After 14 played minutes Gijsbert ter Kruimer shot from long distance. At first the shot seemed to be simple for CLUB ROSE GARDEN's Adrian Kostrzewski to catch but Gijsbert ter Kruimer was lucky. It became 1-1 after the goalkeeper had been careless and dropped the ball into goal. The audience was convinced that Johannes Sjögren's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Arnout Reekers was relentless in the 19th minute of the game. Arnout Reekers was out of position in the 27 minute of play, and Johannes Sjögren capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Johannes Sjögren really showed his touch with that goal: 2-1. Arnout Reekers made a fantastic save in the 30th minute, when Johannes Sjögren sent off a good shot on target. CLUB ROSE GARDEN were awarded a corner in the 31th minute after Netherlands's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Okanay Gazir took the corner. A collision led to CLUB ROSE GARDEN getting a freekick after 32 minutes play. Lucas Torrea hit a great ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 34th minute, Johannes Sjögren managed to get in a good position for a shot. CLUB ROSE GARDEN's supporters rose to their feet, but Johannes Sjögren was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Arnout Reekers breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. An unexpectedly hard shot by Lars Meesters in the 36th minute of play forced CLUB ROSE GARDEN's goalkeeper Adrian Kostrzewski to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 3-1 at half-time.

The wind increased when Johannes Sjögren made the kick off in the second half. In the 66th minute Johannes Sjögren shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Arnout Reekers saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Johannes Sjögren struck a weak shot in the 75th minute. Arnout Reekers didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for CLUB ROSE GARDEN. A collision led to CLUB ROSE GARDEN getting a freekick after 81 minutes play. Okanay Gazir hit a great ball. A nice corner shot did that Gijsbert ter Kruimer got away a dangerous shot.

Okanay Gazir kicked well hit freekick during the 95th minute of the match. Many of Netherlands's supporters were seen to leave the ground early as it became clear their team was going to lose. Netherlands may have spent more time on the ball, but CLUB ROSE GARDEN were more willing to take their chances and they walked away with the win.
