Battal Refiğ took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Wim Wilmes, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 25 minutes of play, Stylus United's Alperen Birsoy made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Arnout Reekers was left in no man's land by his defense there! Battal Refiğ made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Wim Wilmes in the 29th minute of play. When Giray Özyurt came up free with the goalie in the 34th minute, the Stylus United 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 Giray Özyurt couldn't finish the play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Wim Wilmes in the 39th minute of play forced Stylus United's goalkeeper Battal Refiğ to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

The Netherlands fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-2. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 1-2.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Carlos Fernando Albuquerque made a kick off. 52 minutes into the match, Netherlands's goal looked a bit too open when Giray Özyurt came free, but Arnout Reekers reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. A collision led to Stylus United getting a freekick after 58 minutes play. Ludomil Dawiec hit a great ball. Netherlands's Gustaaf Groeneveldt got a good chance for a goal in the 59th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Alperen Birsoy had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 62nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After having played for 67 minutes, Giray Özyurt managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Stylus United's supporters crossed their fingers, but Giray Özyurt was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 70 minutes into the match, Stylus United's goal looked a bit too open when Gijsbert ter Kruimer came free, but Battal Refiğ reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

When the match had gone on for 85 minutes, Wim Wilmes put it in 1-4 from a short distance just to the right of Battal Refiğ. In the 92nd minute of the match Ludomil Dawiec shot from a long distance.
