Rijkel Sportpark
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Carsten Mulder took the kick off in the first half of the match. After a rather tough play, Roggelsedijk's Wessel de Zwaan got a free kick in the 3rd minute. Sjaak Moorlag's late challenge caught a Roggelsedijk's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Sjaak Moorlag helped the player get up and apologised. Henk Blikman fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 19th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lukas Cranenburgh having to interfere. Carsten Mulder fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 21st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lukas Cranenburgh having to interfere. Rijkel's Sjaak Moorlag got his second yellow card of the match in the 25th minute. The referee ordered Sjaak Moorlag off the ground. A collision led to Rijkel getting a freekick after 25 minutes play. Sjaak Moorlag hit a great ball. Wim Thijsse, 26 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. Ryan Grijp blasted a shot towards the goal in the 30th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Jacob Ridder having to make a save. When Jouke Mook fell near the penalty area in the 37th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Roggelsedijk's protests and gave Jouke Mook a yellow card for diving instead. Jouke Mook hit a great freekick 37 minutes into the match. Cobus Masker, 38 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. Daan Oosterveld was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 40th minute. Rijkel's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Carsten Mulder fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 45th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lukas Cranenburgh having to interfere. Rijkel's Lukas Cranenburgh played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Henk Blikman in the 47th minute of play.

If Henk Blikman had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 57th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 59th minute, one of Rijkel:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Rijkel. Lukas Cranenburgh went to the wrong direction when Wim Thijsse was taking care of the penalty kick which however missed the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 65th minute, Daan Oosterveld managed to get in a good position for a shot. Rijkel's supporters rose to their feet, but Daan Oosterveld was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Jacob Ridder breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Daan Oosterveld in the 68th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Jacob Ridder saved Roggelsedijk from getting behind. Rijkel's Lukas Cranenburgh played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Carsten Mulder in the 76th minute of play. 82 minutes into the game, Carsten Mulder recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Lukas Cranenburgh. Carsten Mulder showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 0-2. When Henk Blikman, who was free, got the in front of the goal in the 86 minute he wasn't focused and tipped the ball just over the goal. The Lukas Cranenburgh was delighted since the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar. In the 87th minute, Ryan Grijp hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Daan Oosterveld struck a weak shot in the 99th minute. Jacob Ridder didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Rijkel. The Roggelsedijk players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
