The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Lukas van Dam stepped up to make the kick off in the second half.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Mathieu Bulder couldn't finish the play. Oliver Hartlief fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 57th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Pascall Kregel having to interfere. After having played for 60 minutes, Mathieu Bulder managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

In the 69th match minute, Tolkmar HC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Julius Wijker to maneuver through the defense.

PSV FC's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Jan-Joost Beishuizen in the 80th minute. Jordy van Aalderen tried to clear up in front of the goal, but didn't succeed and rather the ball rolled into the own goal to the right of a despaired Pascall Kregel.

PSV FC's attack was well implemented in the 90th minute, but when Folkert Rademaker was about to shoot he didn't get a good hit on the ball and it hit the crossbar and flew over. Goal Kick.
