Pino Maerschalckx hit a great freekick 3 minutes into the match. 5 minutes into the game, Igor Baraquiel cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1.

Igor Baraquiel struck a weak shot in the 15th minute. Waut Goons didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for LanParty.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Igor Baraquiel stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 52 minutes into the match, Igor Baraquiel notched a goal, 0-3, to the right of Sporting Mambo's Waut Goons. Waut Goons was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After some careless play in the LanParty defense, Yoachim Fondria kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Victorino Umea. The LanParty fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Victorino Umea should have stopped the shot. After 64 minutes, Christoffel Weets mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Sporting Mambo and the LanParty players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 64 played minutes Sporting Mambo got a freekick which was hit by Christoffel Weets. Harold Engelborgh scored 2-3 in the 67th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Victorino Umea, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Victorino Umea took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Christoffel Weets, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. With a little luck, Sporting Mambo's Waut Goons got control of the ball when Jonas Dayam tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 78th minute Igor Baraquiel shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Waut Goons saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

But to his dismay, Yoachim Fondria quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-4. 86 minutes into the match, LanParty's goal looked a bit too open when Christoffel Weets came free, but Victorino Umea reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Jonas Dayam succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 4-5 in the 91st playminute. When Igor Baraquiel came up free with the goalie in the 96th minute, the LanParty fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Igor Baraquiel couldn't finish the play. When the match was over LanParty could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Sporting Mambo throughout the match.
