Spectators: 7316 (Terracing: 5600, Seating: 1716, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Iker Argenis kicked off to start the match. After a defensive mix-up in BXL BRUSSELS's zone, Iker Argenis stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Henri-Patrick Van Riel came out of the goal and Iker Argenis tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Iker Argenis sent away a hard shot on goal in the 19th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After some careless play in the Eskisehirspor defense, Louis Van Haerschot kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Abejundio Romero. The Eskisehirspor fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Abejundio Romero should have stopped the shot. After some careless play in the BXL BRUSSELS defense, Wout De Vos kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Henri-Patrick Van Riel. The BXL BRUSSELS fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Henri-Patrick Van Riel should have stopped the shot. After some fancy dribbling in the 28th minute, Iker Argenis managed to get in a good position for a shot. Eskisehirspor's supporters rose to their feet, but Iker Argenis was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Henri-Patrick Van Riel breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 30 minutes, Iker Argenis made it 1-3 with a short kick to the right side. BXL BRUSSELS's Henri-Patrick Van Riel tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. When the match had gone on for 36 minutes, Bastian Aerts took a quick shot and it went in 2-3 without a chance for Abejundio Romero to make any attempt to save it. Henri-Patrick Van Riel stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Iker Argenis's shot from short distance in the 44th minute.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Louis Van Haerschot to strike the kick off in the second half. Iker Argenis's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 56thth minute, Henri-Patrick Van Riel skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. In the 58th minute, Georgi Peev reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Henri-Patrick Van Riel. The goal made the score 2-5. 67 minutes into the match, Eskisehirspor's goal looked a bit too open when Robbin Mertens came free, but Abejundio Romero reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Louis Van Haerschot sent away a hard shot on goal in the 69th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 77 minutes, Iker Argenis made it 2-6 with a short kick to the right side. BXL BRUSSELS's Henri-Patrick Van Riel tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Iker Argenis had several of the BXL BRUSSELS's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 80 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 2-7 score and a disappointed Henri-Patrick Van Riel as he didn't even see the shot coming. Iker Argenis was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 83rd minute. Eskisehirspor's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. In the 85th minute, Georgi Peev 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. Iker Argeniss short, quick shot in the 87thth minute got Henri-Patrick Van Riel to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Godfried Izemborgh struck a weak shot in the 88th minute. Henri-Patrick Van Riel didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Eskisehirspor. After 92 played minutes BXL BRUSSELS got a freekick which was hit by Joel Bernardts. An unexpectedly hard shot by Bartjan Calstermans in the 95th minute of play forced Eskisehirspor's goalkeeper Abejundio Romero to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Eskisehirspor played a much better game than BXL BRUSSELS and deserved their victory. The BXL BRUSSELS players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
