Hamdijk
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Pim Pragt kicked off to start the match. Jos Hoekstra made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Roland Geerds in the 4th minute of play. If Pieter Smit had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Schiphol's Pieter Smit got a good chance for a goal in the 7th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Rogier de Ruijter during the 13th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After a rather tough play, Hamdijk FC's Rogier de Ruijter got a free kick in the 13th minute. Jos Hoekstra showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Pieter Smit, who was totally free with the ball in the 14th minute. In the 18th match minute, Hamdijk FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Mathijs Bömker to maneuver through the defense. Pim Pragt fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 27th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Carsten ter Averst having to interfere. Pim Pragt was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 33rd minute. Hamdijk FC's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Pim Pragt in the 42nd minute of play forced Schiphol's goalkeeper Carsten ter Averst to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 47 played minutes Schiphol got a freekick which was hit by Maikel Deijnen. The crowd rose to their feet as Hette Dilling kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Carsten ter Averst. That made the score 1-0 in the 48 minute of play. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Pieter Smit to make the kick off. After some fancy dribbling in the 69th minute, Pim Pragt managed to get in a good position for a shot. Hamdijk FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Pim Pragt was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Carsten ter Averst breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 71st minute, Gerrie Boerma hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Carsten ter Averst showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Hette Dilling in the 72nd minute of the match. Roland Geerds received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 74th minute. Jos Hoekstra tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Carsten ter Averst showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Mark Hoving, who was totally free with the ball in the 79th minute. After 83 minutes of play Hamdijk FC's Rogier de Ruijter was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. In the 83rd match minute, Hamdijk FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Rogier de Ruijter to maneuver through the defense. Carsten ter Averst came out of the goal in the 93rd minute to try and stop a shot by Hamdijk FC's Mark Hoving. But to his dismay, Mark Hoving quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-1. Hamdijk FC's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
