After 19 played minutes, Samurai Champions FC's Kiko Antunes shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Leendert Kremer came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Samurai Champions FC reached it. In the 27th match minute, FCF north was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Filip Roswinkel to maneuver through the defense.

Filip Roswinkel could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 44th minute of the match, but Alexsandro Netto made a huge save.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Filip Roswinkel was the one to do the kick off. 65 minutes into the match, Samurai Champions FC's goal looked a bit too open when Pim Hendriks came free, but Alexsandro Netto reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The tension between the FCF north and the Samurai Champions FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. With a little luck, FCF north's Leendert Kremer got control of the ball when Alex Toledo tried to sneak it across the goal line. Klaas Kolman charged in rather forcefully in the 84th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down.

After having played for 93 minutes, Renan Sena managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

FCF north were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Samurai Champions FC for a fine match.
