Oneill stadion
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Ralf Abbekerk started the match with the kick off. 4 minutes into the game, Oneill's Roberto Baggio nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Ab Vaalman made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-0. When Rudolf Nyemanting fell near the penalty area in the 9th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Oneill's protests and gave Rudolf Nyemanting a yellow card for diving instead. In the 9th minute, Rudolf Nyemanting hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 10th minute, Yorrick Zandee ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Berkin Adsoy was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-1. After 13 played minutes Katerveer got a freekick which was hit by Yorrick Zandee. In the 15th minute, Oneill's Marnix Boschker dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 2-1. After a defensive mix-up in Oneill's zone, Yorrick Zandee stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Berkin Adsoy came out of the goal and Yorrick Zandee tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 19th match minute, Katerveer was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Vincent Decheiver to maneuver through the defense. Roberto Baggio struck a weak shot in the 22nd minute.

After a rather tough play, Katerveer's Jurgen Schie got a free kick in the 24th minute. 31 minutes into the match, Oneill's goal looked a bit too open when Yorrick Zandee came free, but Berkin Adsoy reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 34 minutes into the match, Roberto Baggio notched a goal, 4-1, to the right of Katerveer's Ab Vaalman. Ab Vaalman was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The attack was good, but when Roberto Baggio in the 38th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. Ab Vaalman made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Marnix Boschker in the 40th minute of play. The supporters of Oneill booed when Katerveer was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 42 match minutes in a wonderful position. Yorrick Zandee didn't get a good kick on the ball. Roberto Baggio who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 44thth minute tested the skills of Ab Vaalman when he managed to save the team from getting behind. In the 47th of the match, Marnix Boschker tried to place the ball in the upper right corner, but Ab Vaalman got in the way and made a wonderful save. In the 49th minute of the match Oneill got a corner. Katerveer's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Roberto Baggio ran over to the corner to take the kick. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 5-1 at half-time.

Katerveer's Ab Vaalman played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Jurjen van Zaanen in the 60th minute of play. Berkin Adsoy didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Yorrick Zandee went, in the 62nd minute, to the upper right corner, 5-2 was the resulting score. Ralf Abbekerk sent away a hard shot on goal in the 67th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Jurjen van Zaanen's late challenge caught a Katerveer's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Jurjen van Zaanen helped the player get up and apologised. In the 69th match minute, Oneill was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Jurjen van Zaanen to maneuver through the defense. After some fancy dribbling in the 71st minute, Roberto Baggio managed to get in a good position for a shot. Oneill's supporters rose to their feet, but Roberto Baggio was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ab Vaalman breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Ab Vaalman took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Marnix Boschker, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 75thth minute of the game Roberto Baggio who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Katerveer's Ab Vaalman was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. In the 79th minute Roberto Baggio shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ab Vaalman saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After having played for 82 minutes, Roberto Baggio managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Oneill's supporters crossed their fingers, but Roberto Baggio was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 83rd minute, Marnix Boschker left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Oneill fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 6-2. Jurgen Schie hit a great freekick 86 minutes into the match. Marnix Boschker fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 89th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ab Vaalman having to interfere. Ab Vaalman showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Roberto Baggio in the 91st minute of the match. Roberto Baggio received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 100th minute. Ab Vaalman tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Oneill had played much better football throughout.
