Spectators: 7724 (Terracing: 5794, Seating: 1776, VIP seats: 154) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Astor Gaufred kicked off to start the match. Amador Herensuge was out of position in the 5 minute of play, and Sander De Rudder capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Sander De Rudder really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. In the 12th match minute, Les Presidents FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Geordy Vrijdag to maneuver through the defense.

A collision led to Đ∈p○rㄒﺃν○ ∈kдㄒ○m√ getting a freekick after 24 minutes play. Rogelio Montel hit a great ball.

Joachim Oliviers received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 31st minute. Amador Herensuge tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

The supporters of Đ∈p○rㄒﺃν○ ∈kдㄒ○m√ booed when Les Presidents FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 55 match minutes in a wonderful position.

In the 72nd minute, Les Presidents FC's Henri Langendonckx seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Henri Langendonckx the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Les Presidents FC protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Henri Langendonckx had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. After 72 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Les Presidents FC! The goalkeeper, Rein De Rijck, was totally fooled by Đ∈p○rㄒﺃν○ ∈kдㄒ○m√'s Raimundo Videl, who 74 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. Raimundo Videl was extremely unlucky when he, in the 79th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out.
