Spectators: 7464 (Terracing: 5599, Seating: 1716, VIP seats: 149) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Tjorven Imbereghs kicked off to start the match. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Tjorven Imbereghs in the 4th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Gervasio Dei saved Chanchos from getting behind. Benedict Wuijts kicked well hit freekick during the 8th minute of the match. Berten Wouqier took the ball and in the 11 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Gervasio Dei. Gervasio Dei dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. Gervasio Dei made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Tjorven Imbereghs in the 15th minute of play. Gervasio Dei didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Rambo Rau went, in the 25th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-2 was the resulting score. Gervasio Dei came out of the goal in the 34th minute to try and stop a shot by MagicTeam's Rambo Rau. But to his dismay, Rambo Rau quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-3. Gervasio Dei took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Tjorven Imbereghs, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Luk De Winter fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 45th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gervasio Dei having to interfere. Disappointed in the 0-3 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Nicanor Nabar was the one to do the kick off. Gervasio Dei made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Berten Wouqier in the 59th minute of play. Luk De Winter struck a weak shot in the 60th minute. Gervasio Dei didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for MagicTeam. With his leg Gervasio Dei managed to avoid a goal in the 61stth minute, when MagicTeam's Tjorven Imbereghs fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Tjorven Imbereghs could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 63rd minute of the match, but Gervasio Dei made a huge save. Giovanni Liboton recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 76th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 78th minute of the match, Rambo Rau tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Gervasio Dei saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. If Berten Wouqier had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 80th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, Chanchos's Rolando Raymond got a free kick in the 85th minute. In the 88th match minute, Chanchos was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Rolando Raymond to maneuver through the defense. 90 minutes into the match, Chanchos's goal looked a bit too open when Berten Wouqier came free, but Gervasio Dei reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Tjorven Imbereghs came free with the goalkeeper in the 91st minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Gervasio Dei could save by the left post. An unexpectedly hard shot by Rambo Rau in the 95th minute of play forced Chanchos's goalkeeper Gervasio Dei to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Gervasio Dei was out of position in the 97 minute of play, and Berten Wouqier capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Berten Wouqier really showed his touch with that goal: 0-5. The Chanchos fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. MagicTeam were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
