After some careless play in the FC Autolycus defense, Siebe Luijten kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Stefan Awizo. The FC Autolycus fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Stefan Awizo should have stopped the shot. If Siebe Luijten had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 67th minute.

Raphaël Boede ran back to his position shaking his head. An unexpectedly hard shot by Siebe Luijten in the 93rd minute of play forced FC Autolycus's goalkeeper Stefan Awizo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. All Stars Gent fully deserved thier win.
