Garaje N°70
Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Joost Van Houdtvinck started the match with the kick off. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Joost Van Houdtvinck in the 10th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Yannis Cerneels saved Los Manguis & Company from getting behind. Refael Justus's late challenge caught a Upigny's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Refael Justus helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Los Manguis & Company's Refael Justus got a free kick in the 11th minute. After 12 played minutes, Upigny's Bertrand Seveneijnts shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Yannis Cerneels came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Upigny reached it. Jurgen Schroons fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 14th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Yannis Cerneels having to interfere. After having played for 18 minutes, Greg Portai managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Los Manguis & Company's supporters crossed their fingers, but Greg Portai was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 20 minutes into the match, Los Manguis & Company's goal looked a bit too open when Jurgen Schroons came free, but Yannis Cerneels reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Steven Huijberechts had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 21st minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. The supporters of Upigny booed when Los Manguis & Company was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 29 match minutes in a wonderful position. Vince Verheijd didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 35th minute, Los Manguis & Company's Greg Portai dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-0. Jozef Raemakers stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Greg Portai's shot from short distance in the 41st minute. If Joost Van Houdtvinck had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 1-0 at half-time.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Greg Portai to strike the kick off in the second half. Steven Huijberechts recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 52nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Steven Huijberechts in the 61st minute of play forced Upigny's goalkeeper Jozef Raemakers to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 62nd minute Steven Huijberechts shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jozef Raemakers saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Steven Huijberechts scored 2-0 in the 64th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Jozef Raemakers, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Greg Portai received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 67th minute. Jozef Raemakers tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 71st minute, Mathias-Alexander Van De Velden hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 72 minutes into the match, Upigny's goal looked a bit too open when Greg Portai came free, but Jozef Raemakers reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After having played for 81 minutes, Steven Huijberechts managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Los Manguis & Company's supporters crossed their fingers, but Steven Huijberechts was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Jozef Raemakers showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Greg Portai, who was totally free with the ball in the 83rd minute. In the 88th minute, Greg Portai left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Los Manguis & Company fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 3-0. In the 92nd minute, Jurgen Schroons 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.
