Spectators: 9245 (Terracing: 6935, Seating: 2126, VIP seats: 184) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Nacho Manuel took the kick off in the first half of the match. Wesley van Rhijn hit a great freekick 2 minutes into the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 4th minute, Nacho Manuel managed to get in a good position for a shot. Shuspendemo's supporters rose to their feet, but Nacho Manuel was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

With a left leg Gerrit Kemper saved Decathlon Dudes from getting behind. The Shuspendemo fans' excitement grew in the 9th match minute when Shuspendemo's Nacho Manuel looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-0 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. With a little luck, Decathlon Dudes's Gerrit Kemper got control of the ball when Nacho Manuel tried to sneak it across the goal line.

A collision led to Shuspendemo getting a freekick after 20 minutes play. Roque Remicio hit a great ball.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Alex Deinse to strike the kick off in the second half. 51 minutes into the match, Stefan Waterreus notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of Shuspendemo's Haroldo Cresencio. Haroldo Cresencio was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it.
