Spectators: 45 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when 罗皓镇 kicked off to start the match. Gustaaf Groeneveldt scored 1-0 in the 5th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Franciszek Chuchro, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Franciszek Chuchro was out of position in the 8 minute of play, and Wim Wilmes capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Wim Wilmes really showed his touch with that goal: 2-0. In the 12th minute Wim Wilmes shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Franciszek Chuchro saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Arnout Reekers took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 罗皓镇, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 15 minutes into the game, 温洋树 cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-1. Arnout Reekers was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. 钱响延 hit a great freekick 25 minutes into the match. 26 minutes into the match, Gijsbert ter Kruimer sent off a long shot that looked like it was going straight into the goal, but because Franciszek Chuchro threw himself in his full length he managed to grip the ball by the left post, and there was no goal for Gijsbert ter Kruimer this time. 28 minutes into the match, Netherlands's Gustaaf Groeneveldt sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Franciszek Chuchro narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Gustaaf Groeneveldt could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 32nd minute of the match, but Franciszek Chuchro made a huge save.

All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Gijsbert ter Kruimer made a kick off. Gijsbert ter Kruimer received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 50th minute. Franciszek Chuchro tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Lars Meesters in the 55th minute of play forced 马大哈's goalkeeper Franciszek Chuchro to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If 柳钢烽 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 56th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Netherlands's Arnout Reekers played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by 罗皓镇 in the 60th minute of play.

Franciszek Chuchro didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Netherlands. 马大哈's 温洋树 got a good chance for a goal in the 85th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.
