Spectators: 7472 (Terracing: 5605, Seating: 1718, VIP seats: 149) In the 4th minute, Raphaël Boede left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The All Stars Gent fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. Estevan Meenen recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 8th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The audience thought a goal was coming when Koppány Orosz got free with Yvan Poets in the 11th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. All Stars Gent's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Henrik Vervaet in the 17th minute. The corner ended in Henrik Vervaet almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Rákóczifalva SE's Ferenc Hajdú did a great save. The All Stars Gent fans' excitement grew in the 23rd match minute when All Stars Gent's Estevan Meenen looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-4 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. After 30 played minutes Rákóczifalva SE got a freekick which was hit by Péter Barabás. Estevan Meenen fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 33rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ferenc Hajdú having to interfere. Disappointed in the 0-5 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Estevan Meenen made a kick off. Theo Vandendriessche received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 56th minute. Ferenc Hajdú tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 61stth minute of the game Estevan Meenen who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Rákóczifalva SE's Ferenc Hajdú was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Ferenc Hajdú came out of the goal in the 65th minute to try and stop a shot by All Stars Gent's Estevan Meenen. But to his dismay, Estevan Meenen quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-6. With a little luck, Rákóczifalva SE's Ferenc Hajdú got control of the ball when Estevan Meenen tried to sneak it across the goal line. Estevan Meenen who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 73rdth minute tested the skills of Ferenc Hajdú when he managed to save the team from getting behind. After 75 minutes Rákóczifalva SE's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Henrik Vervaet who took care of the corner kick. Yvan Poets stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Soma Szuper's shot from short distance in the 77th minute. After 78 minutes, Soma Szuper made it 1-6 with a short kick to the right side. All Stars Gent's Yvan Poets tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. 81 minutes into the match, Rákóczifalva SE's goal looked a bit too open when Raphaël Boede came free, but Ferenc Hajdú reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Theo Vandendriessche had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 84th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 87 minutes, Raphaël Boede managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. All Stars Gent's supporters crossed their fingers, but Raphaël Boede was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When Ákos Karsai fell near the penalty area in the 88th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Rákóczifalva SE's protests and gave Ákos Karsai a yellow card for diving instead. Ferenc Hajdú didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 91st minute, which inside left pole to 1-7. In the 96th minute Estevan Meenen shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ferenc Hajdú saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The All Stars Gent supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing All Stars Gent would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
