Spectators: 45 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Benoit Van Heurick kicked off to start the match. Wayan Freeman made in the 4th minute of the game a quick throw-in and Finlay Stair immediately put the ball in play. 5 minutes into the match, Zero Gravity's goal looked a bit too open when Finlay Stair came free, but Thibaud Van Lancker reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. With an all-out effort, Jamaica's Thibaud Van Lancker threw himself towards the right post 6 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Romon Oliver, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. If Thijs Boegaert had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The throw-in from Javan Develder in the 10th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Zero Gravity's Bart Wittemans. After some careless play in the Zero Gravity defense, Kordal Duff kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Thibaud Van Lancker. The Zero Gravity fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Thibaud Van Lancker should have stopped the shot. 17 minutes into the game, Jamaica's Finlay Stair nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Thibaud Van Lancker made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-0. A throw-in in the 22nd minute of the game was made by Jamaall Padmore with Karlus Waugh as target, who quickly passed the ball forward. Remie Dirckx received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 25th minute. Demonde Jacobson tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Kordal Duff made in the 27th minute of the game a throw-in that took a bad bounce and was taken care of by Zero Gravity's Bart Wittemans. In the 29th play minute Finlay Stair came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Thibaud Van Lancker. 3-0. In the 32nd minute Finlay Stair shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Thibaud Van Lancker saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 35 minutes into the match, Romon Oliver had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Thibaud Van Lancker. Zero Gravity's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Romon Oliver was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 4-0. In the 40th minute, Andrez Dams ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Demonde Jacobson was frozen by the shot and now it was 4-1. 46 minutes into the match, Zero Gravity's goalkeeper Thibaud Van Lancker had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Jarell Hill. In the 48th minute, Romon Oliver reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Thibaud Van Lancker. The goal made the score 5-1. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 5-1.

When Matt Uyterhelcht fell near the penalty area in the 58th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Zero Gravity's protests and gave Matt Uyterhelcht a yellow card for diving instead. Matt Uyterhelcht kicked well hit freekick during the 58th minute of the match. Jarell Hill made in the 67th minute of the game a throw-in that took a bad bounce and was taken care of by Zero Gravity's Thijs Boegaert.

Zero Gravity's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Finlay Stair was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 6-1. Zero Gravity's Bart Wittemans managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Kordal Duff in the 85 minute of the game. In the 88th minute, Jarell Hill got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Zero Gravity's Thibaud Van Lancker played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Kordal Duff in the 91st minute of play. Zero Gravity's attentive Thijs Boegaert managed to snatch the ball when Wayan Freeman made a throw-in in the 93rd minute of the game. A collision led to Zero Gravity getting a freekick after 94 minutes play. Thijs Boegaert hit a great ball. After 95 played minutes Jamaica got a freekick which was hit by Leron Sale. An unexpectedly hard shot by Romon Oliver in the 97th minute of play forced Zero Gravity's goalkeeper Thibaud Van Lancker to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
