Spectators: 7437 (Terracing: 5593, Seating: 1714, VIP seats: 130) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Teofilo Virila took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 2nd minute, Albert De Wulf hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Genaro Nataniel charged in rather forcefully in the 4th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down.

In the 5th minute, Genaro Nataniel hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Oscar Kindermans sent away a hard shot on goal in the 6th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a rather tough play, Limitless Delux Edition™'s Albert De Wulf got a free kick in the 14th minute. When Oscar Kindermans fell near the penalty area in the 19th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Limitless Delux Edition™'s protests and gave Oscar Kindermans a yellow card for diving instead. In the 20th minute, Oscar Kindermans hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. An unexpectedly hard shot by Genaro Nataniel in the 22nd minute of play forced Limitless Delux Edition™'s goalkeeper Yves Beaufort to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Willy De Keijser hit a great freekick 27 minutes into the match. Genaro Nataniel struck a weak shot in the 28th minute. Yves Beaufort didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Tigre. Joris Hendrickx took the ball and in the 30 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Rogelio Gaur. Rogelio Gaur dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. In the 36th minute Sebastian Deswarte shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rogelio Gaur saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 37th match minute, Limitless Delux Edition™ was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Joris Hendrickx to maneuver through the defense. Joris Hendrickx fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 46th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rogelio Gaur having to interfere. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Oscar Kindermans was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 52nd minute. Limitless Delux Edition™'s manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. After 60 played minutes Tigre got a freekick which was hit by Ramiro Montrelle. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Florentino Henric during the 63rd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of Limitless Delux Edition™ booed when Tigre was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 63 match minutes in a wonderful position. Florentino Henric didn't get a good kick on the ball. Joris Hendrickx fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 64th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rogelio Gaur having to interfere. 66 minutes into the game, Raimundo Bittor cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-1. Yves Beaufort was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. In the 72nd minute Joris Hendrickx shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rogelio Gaur saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Raimundo Bittor came up free with the goalie in the 73rd minute, the Tigre 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 Raimundo Bittor couldn't finish the play. In the 77th match minute, Tigre was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ramiro Montrelle to maneuver through the defense. If Genaro Nataniel had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 88th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 93 minutes into the match, Tigre's goal looked a bit too open when Joris Hendrickx came free, but Rogelio Gaur reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Raimundo Bittor charged in rather forcefully in the 95th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Raimundo Bittor the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play.
