Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Jorn Hertog kicked off to start the match. 10 minutes into the game, Erwin Ottenhof was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. FC LOOT's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Nederhemert S.C. the free kick. Joris Hulsebos kicked well hit freekick during the 12th minute of the match. Jorn Hertog was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 15th minute. Nederhemert S.C.'s manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. With a little luck, FC LOOT's Olof Evers got control of the ball when Cobus Ponk tried to sneak it across the goal line. After 17 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for FC LOOT! When the match had been going on for 19 minutes, Nederhemert S.C.'s Gio Sloothaak got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Olof Evers. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jorn Hertog in the 24th minute of play forced FC LOOT's goalkeeper Olof Evers to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Richard Oosting hit a great freekick 27 minutes into the match. Gio Sloothaak, 27 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 30th minute, Peter Westerhof managed to get in a good position for a shot. FC LOOT's supporters rose to their feet, but Peter Westerhof was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Gerben Brandsma breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Joris Hulsebos received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 31st minute. Gerben Brandsma tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Jorn Hertog sent away a hard shot on goal in the 38th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 39th minute, Erwin Ottenhof hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Thanks to some nice moves Cobus Ponk could shoot a difficult shot in the 41st minute, which Olof Evers however easily saved by the left post. Cobus Ponk received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 43rd minute. Olof Evers tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Olof Evers showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jorn Hertog in the 45th minute of the match. If Cobus Ponk had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 46th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Joris Hulsebos made a kick off. Gerben Brandsma made a fantastic save in the 56th minute, when Peter Westerhof sent off a good shot on target. Jorn Hertog scored 2-1 in the 57th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Olof Evers, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

The referee showed Maikel Heijer the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 75thth minute of the game Cobus Ponk who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but FC LOOT's Olof Evers was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Olof Evers showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Cobus Ponk, who was totally free with the ball in the 77th minute. 78 minutes into the match, FC LOOT's goal looked a bit too open when Jorn Hertog came free, but Olof Evers reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 80 minutes into the match, Cobus Ponk had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Olof Evers. FC LOOT's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Cobus Ponk was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-1. FC LOOT's Peter Westerhof got a good chance for a goal in the 85th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Jan Douwes kicked well hit freekick during the 93rd minute of the match. 94 minutes into the match, FC LOOT's goal looked a bit too open when Jorn Hertog came free, but Olof Evers reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
