Spectators: 5650 (Terracing: 5650, Seating: 0, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Henri-Xavier Van de Schrieck made the kick off which started today's match. 8 minutes into the game, Jose Van Linthoudt was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. K.F.C NIJLEN's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave FC Verberckt the free kick. Vic Switten kicked well hit freekick during the 10th minute of the match. Christofere De Ridder came free with the goalkeeper in the 11th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Bas De Wortelaer could save by the left post. FC Verberckt's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Christofere De Ridder 11 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 1-0. In the 15th minute, Philipp Clement hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 16 played minutes, FC Verberckt's Dirk Rogiers shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Daan Mertens 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 FC Verberckt reached it. If Steve Schaerlaekens had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Henri-Xavier Van de Schrieck was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 24th minute. K.F.C NIJLEN's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Daan Mertens took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Maurus Sustens, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. FC Verberckt's Steve Schaerlaekens got a good chance for a goal in the 34th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 38th minute of the match, Henri-Xavier Van de Schrieck tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Bas De Wortelaer saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. Loui Reniers hit a great freekick 38 minutes into the match. Bas De Wortelaer made an important save on a dangerous shot by Christofere De Ridder in the 40th minute. 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 1-0.
