Spectators: 6704 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1704, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Robben Verhaghen started the match with the kick off. After a defensive mix-up in SC Warisoulx's zone, Robben Verhaghen stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Olivier Kints came out of the goal and Robben Verhaghen tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. A collision led to KV Zallaken getting a freekick after 6 minutes play. Nicolas Kempeneers hit a great ball. In the 11th minute, Sylven De Maerschalck made a precise shot to the right of Benoit Verhasselt. KV Zallaken's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. Tibo Nilis took the ball and in the 14 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Benoit Verhasselt. Benoit Verhasselt dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-2. After 19 minutes, Diederik Volens mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the KV Zallaken and the SC Warisoulx players grew even worse after the yellow card.

Dominic Justens blasted a shot towards the goal in the 21st minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Benoit Verhasselt having to make a save.

KV Zallaken's Benoit Verhasselt played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tibo Nilis in the 32nd minute of play. 35 minutes into the match, KV Zallaken's goal looked a bit too open when Tibo Nilis came free, but Benoit Verhasselt reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

In the 48thth minute of the game Dominic Justens who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but KV Zallaken's Benoit Verhasselt was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Disappointed in the 0-3 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Dominic Justens to make the kick off. A collision led to SC Warisoulx getting a freekick after 56 minutes play. Sylven De Maerschalck hit a great ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 58th minute, Dominic Justens managed to get in a good position for a shot. SC Warisoulx's supporters rose to their feet, but Dominic Justens was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Benoit Verhasselt breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When Sylven De Maerschalck fell near the penalty area in the 59th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored SC Warisoulx's protests and gave Sylven De Maerschalck a yellow card for diving instead. David Van Leempoel hit a great freekick 70 minutes into the match. If Tibo Nilis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 76th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
