Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Mbaka Mbolu made the kick off which started today's match. Netherlands's Gustaaf Groeneveldt got a good chance for a goal in the 4th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Gijsbert ter Kruimer had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 15th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Gustaaf Groeneveldt struck a weak shot in the 18th minute. Ray De Lauw didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Netherlands. In the 20th minute Gustaaf Groeneveldt shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ray De Lauw saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Olliver Van Bever sent away a hard shot on goal in the 25th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Gustaaf Groeneveldt recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 27th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Wim Wilmes spun around in front of the goal 32 minutes in the game, and got away a shot that, to his disappointment, went to the left of De Beverpatrouille's goal. De Beverpatrouille's Jordi Van Bever was substituted for Jonatan Corderall. De Beverpatrouille's Aybars Öveç was substituted for Olliver Van Bever. In the 39th minute, Mbaka Mbolu got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. 43 minutes into the match, De Beverpatrouille's goal looked a bit too open when Gijsbert ter Kruimer came free, but Ray De Lauw reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Joost Asselberghs kicked well hit freekick during the 44th minute of the match. Arnout Reekers made a fantastic save in the 47th minute, when Mbaka Mbolu sent off a good shot on target. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 0-0 after a close first half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Gijsbert ter Kruimer made a kick off. Gustaaf Groeneveldt fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 50th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ray De Lauw having to interfere. 56 minutes into the match, Wim Wilmes dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Ray De Lauw, 0-1. In the 61st minute Wim Wilmes shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ray De Lauw saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Mbaka Mbolu hit a great freekick 72 minutes into the match. Arnout Reekers showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Mbaka Mbolu, who was totally free with the ball in the 74th minute. In the 76th minute David Eikelkamp shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ray De Lauw saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 78 minutes into the match, De Beverpatrouille's goalkeeper Ray De Lauw had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Gustaaf Groeneveldt. After a rather tough play, De Beverpatrouille's Joost Asselberghs got a free kick in the 79th minute. Joost Asselberghs kicked well hit freekick during the 85th minute of the match. A throw-in in the 91st minute of the game was made by Egbert Nijveldt with Gijsbert ter Kruimer as target, who quickly passed the ball forward. Mbaka Mbolu blasted a shot towards the goal in the 96th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Arnout Reekers having to make a save. Netherlands played a much better game than De Beverpatrouille and deserved their victory. The De Beverpatrouille players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
