Spectators: 7649 (Terracing: 5747, Seating: 1750, VIP seats: 152) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Enzo Bermudo started the match with the kick off. Nereo Jurgi showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Steven De Kelper in the 3rd minute of the match. With a little luck, Bacardi FC's Arend Van Beneden got control of the ball when Jalen Brunson tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 10th minute Paul-Louis Van Mechelen shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Nereo Jurgi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Clodoveo Galoer fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 12th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Arend Van Beneden having to interfere. Enzo Bermudo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 14th minute. Arend Van Beneden tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Nereo Jurgi came out of the goal in the 16th minute to try and stop a shot by Bacardi FC's 乔适桑. But to his dismay, 乔适桑 quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. In the 19th minute Paul-Louis Van Mechelen shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Nereo Jurgi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Raymond Verheije in the 26th minute of play forced Alvi Boton's goalkeeper Nereo Jurgi to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Javier Raymon struck a weak shot in the 29th minute. Arend Van Beneden didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Alvi Boton. After having played for 31 minutes, Javier Raymon managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Alvi Boton's supporters crossed their fingers, but Javier Raymon was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Bacardi FC's Arend Van Beneden played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Enzo Bermudo in the 43rd minute of play.

Bacardi FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Clodoveo Galoer was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2. Alvi Boton made a substitution. Pastor Celipe replaced Jalen Brunson. Nereo Jurgi didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Xander Steurms went, in the 79th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-3 was the resulting score.
