Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Franciszek Sadlowski made the kick off which started today's match. Cezary Kaczeniak showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Gijsbert ter Kruimer, who was totally free with the ball in the 3rd minute. 0-1 became the score in the 5th minute when Gustaaf Groeneveldt elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Artur Pietrowski fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 9th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Arnout Reekers having to interfere.

In the 21st minute of the game Kees Mooiweer made a throw-in which Gijsbert ter Kruimer played forward. Artur Pietrowski's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Arnout Reekers firmly grabbed it by the left post. Kees Mooiweer made in the 30th minute of the game a fairly good throw-in which was taken care of by Lars Meesters. Zhou Rong Hui took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 37th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Arnout Reekers. Netherlands's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Franciszek Sadlowski recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 39th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 47 minutes into the match, Edwardów's goal looked a bit too open when Gijsbert ter Kruimer came free, but Cezary Kaczeniak reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 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 Gijsbert ter Kruimer to make the kick off. Gustaaf Groeneveldt sent away a hard shot on goal in the 51st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After some fancy dribbling in the 53rd minute, Franciszek Sadlowski managed to get in a good position for a shot. Edwardów's supporters rose to their feet, but Franciszek Sadlowski was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Arnout Reekers breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Iwo Imbor hit a great freekick 54 minutes into the match. If Gustaaf Groeneveldt had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 57th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Cezary Kaczeniak took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Gijsbert ter Kruimer, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Cezary Kaczeniak showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Wim Wilmes, who was totally free with the ball in the 66th minute. Gijsbert ter Kruimer sent away a hard shot on goal in the 69th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Arnout Reekers showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Artur Pietrowski in the 74th minute of the match. Edwardów were awarded a corner in the 75th minute after Netherlands's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Zhou Rong Hui took the corner. The corner led Edwardów's Zhou Rong Hui to fire away a dangerous shot which Arnout Reekers despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. After a rather tough play, Netherlands's Egbert Nijveldt got a free kick in the 80th minute. The supporters of Netherlands booed when Edwardów was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 89 match minutes in a wonderful position. Zhou Rong Hui didn't get a good kick on the ball. The audience thought a goal was coming when Wim Wilmes got free with Cezary Kaczeniak in the 93rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. When the final whistle sounded Netherlands left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Edwardów.
