After having played for 6 minutes, Paul Riemers managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Hobreede FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Christijan Heuving was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1.

Jonathan Scholte tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 55 played minutes, Spaarnwoude's Gert Ridder shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Jonathan Scholte came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Spaarnwoude reached it. Wilco Vledder's late challenge caught a Hobreede FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Wilco Vledder helped the player get up and apologised.

After some fancy dribbling in the 66th minute, Jan Hendrik Adams managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Jelle Ensing kicked well hit freekick during the 81st minute of the match. The supporters of Spaarnwoude booed when Hobreede FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 86 match minutes in a wonderful position. Nathan Struik didn't get a good kick on the ball.
