Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Mart Kielstra kicked off to start the match. Mart Kielstra scored 0-1 in the 10th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Maarten Tellingen, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Ramon Winters fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 18th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gijsbert Veldkamp having to interfere. Tokalmar's Gijsbert Veldkamp played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Mark Stam in the 19th minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in Tokalmar's zone, Ramon Winters stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Gijsbert Veldkamp came out of the goal and Ramon Winters tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Tim Sanders came up free with the goalie in the 22nd minute, the Tokalmar 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 Tim Sanders couldn't finish the play. Maarten Tellingen stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Mart Kielstra's shot from short distance in the 27th minute. Reinier Meier kicked well hit freekick during the 28th minute of the match. In the 30th minute, Tim Sanders got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. If Tim Sanders had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 33rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Gerwin Heitinga's late challenge caught a Tokalmar's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Gerwin Heitinga helped the player get up and apologised. If Mart Kielstra had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

After having played for 43 minutes, Gregor Severijnse managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Mark Stam made a kick off. In the 57th minute, Brain van der Aa sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Leemberg FC's Maarten Tellingen didn't even have to move.

The supporters of Tokalmar booed when Leemberg FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 67 match minutes in a wonderful position. Gregor Severijnse didn't get a good kick on the ball.

Tim Sanders ran back to his position shaking his head. Maarten Tellingen was out of position in the 69 minute of play, and Mart Kielstra capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Mart Kielstra really showed his touch with that goal: 0-2. 74 minutes into the match, Mark Stam had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Gijsbert Veldkamp. Tokalmar's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Mark Stam was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2.
