Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when İbrahim Trabzonlu kicked off to start the match. Cyprian Trzenzalski made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Wim Wilmes in the 10th minute of play. Gustaaf Groeneveldt might have been able to make a better finish in the 11th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Cyprian Trzenzalski. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Gustaaf Groeneveldt ran back to his position shaking his head. Selim Gulson received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Arnout Reekers came out and tried to block the shot, but Selim Gulson slotted it home off the left post making it 1-0 in the 16th minute. Cyprian Trzenzalski made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Wim Wilmes in the 27th minute of play. When Andy Shimko fell near the penalty area in the 28th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored FCFiratRom's protests and gave Andy Shimko a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, FCFiratRom's Andy Shimko got a free kick in the 29th minute. The supporters of FCFiratRom booed when Netherlands was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 31 match minutes in a wonderful position. Egbert Nijveldt didn't get a good kick on the ball. Cankut Koytak hit a great freekick 32 minutes into the match. 34 minutes into the match, FCFiratRom's goal looked a bit too open when Wim Wilmes came free, but Cyprian Trzenzalski reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Gustaaf Groeneveldt came up free with the goalie in the 36th 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 Gustaaf Groeneveldt couldn't finish the play. If Gustaaf Groeneveldt had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 43rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. FCFiratRom's Anıl Ozan Şaki managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Gust Ennemans in the 46 minute of the game. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 1-0.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Gijsbert ter Kruimer made a kick off. The audience thought a goal was coming when Wim Wilmes got free with Cyprian Trzenzalski in the 53rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Arnout Reekers stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Selim Gulson's shot from short distance in the 62nd minute. A nice corner shot did that Salih Gulson got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Arnout Reekers quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. Gustaaf Groeneveldt could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 69th minute of the match, but Cyprian Trzenzalski made a huge save. After 78 minutes, Joseph Cooper mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the FCFiratRom and the Netherlands players grew even worse after the yellow card. A collision led to FCFiratRom getting a freekick after 78 minutes play. Joseph Cooper hit a great ball. Netherlands's Gustaaf Groeneveldt came free and shot a quick shot against goal 83 minutes in the game, fortunately Cyprian Trzenzalski had problems saving as it came toward the left post. Cyprian Trzenzalski was out of position in the 85 minute of play, and Gijsbert ter Kruimer capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Gijsbert ter Kruimer really showed his touch with that goal: 1-1. In the 91st minute, FCFiratRom's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Gustaaf Groeneveldt fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. Gijsbert ter Kruimer sent away a hard shot on goal in the 92nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
