Spectators: 7513 (Terracing: 5635, Seating: 1728, VIP seats: 150) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Henri-Xavier Claessens took the kick off in the first half of the match. 7 minutes into the match, Halen's goal looked a bit too open when Henri-Xavier Claessens came free, but Dylan van der Eycken reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Julius Grauwen in the 12th minute of play forced Clemenza Papi Club's goalkeeper Oliver Vrijdag to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Henri-Xavier Claessens had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

When Teo Reijniers came up free with the goalie in the 45th minute, the Clemenza Papi Club 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 Teo Reijniers couldn't finish the play.
