Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Jan Schuttrup kicked off to start the match. A hard shot by Pierre Plagge from long distance, 3 minutes into the match, got Marco Vrieze's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. Jelmer Bleiswijk kicked well hit freekick during the 4th minute of the match. Diderik Theuwss short, quick shot in the 12thth minute got Marco Vrieze to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in.

Jan Schuttrup sent away a hard shot on goal in the 21st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 22nd minute Douwe Woering shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Marco Vrieze saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 24th minute, Jelmer Bleiswijk ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Jan Hendrik Geitz was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-1.

With a little luck, Bus S.C.'s Marco Vrieze got control of the ball when Gooitzen Bouwens tried to sneak it across the goal line. When the match had gone on for 34 minutes, Douwe Woering put it in 3-1 from a short distance just to the right of Marco Vrieze. Douwe Woering's late challenge caught a Bus S.C.'s player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Douwe Woering helped the player get up and apologised. In the 37th match minute, Stort was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Douwe Woering to maneuver through the defense. In the 38th minute of the match Jelmer Bleiswijk shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Jan Hendrik Geitz showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. After 39 minutes of play, Stort's Gooitzen Bouwens made it 4-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Marco Vrieze was left in no man's land by his defense there! Marco Vrieze made an important save on a dangerous shot by Gooitzen Bouwens in the 43rd minute.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Douwe Woering stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. After a rather tough play, Stort's Maikel Breinburg got a free kick in the 54th minute. Jan Schuttrup struck a weak shot in the 59th minute. Jan Hendrik Geitz didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Bus S.C.. Emiel Saanen hit a great freekick 60 minutes into the match. 64 minutes into the game, one of Stort:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. When the match had been going on for 66 minutes, Bus S.C.'s Marco Pinksteren 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 Jan Hendrik Geitz. Douwe Woering fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 71st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Marco Vrieze having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 74th minute, Emiel Saanen managed to get in a good position for a shot. Stort's supporters rose to their feet, but Emiel Saanen was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Marco Vrieze breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Douwe Woering struck a weak shot in the 78th minute. Marco Vrieze didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Stort. After 83 played minutes Stort got a freekick which was hit by Bennie Velez. Jan Hendrik Geitz was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Sjoerd Roetering showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 4-3 in the 87 minute of play. In the 94th minute Jan Schuttrup shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jan Hendrik Geitz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. For all the effort they put into the match, the Bus S.C. players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Stort.
