Spectators: 152 (Terracing: 114, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Tudor Fratea took the kick off in the first half of the match. The audience thought a goal was coming when Arno Zonneveld got free with Vadim Macovei in the 5th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 6th minute, Pannekoeken's Mathias Traa seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Mathias Traa the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Pannekoeken protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Mathias Traa had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. The supporters of FC Truseni booed when Pannekoeken was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 7 match minutes in a wonderful position. Mathias Traa didn't get a good kick on the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Tudor Fratea in the 7th minute of play forced Pannekoeken's goalkeeper Harold Breugel to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Harold Breugel showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Grigore Josan in the 10th minute of the match. In the 17th minute, Cãtãlin Cazacu made a precise shot to the right of Harold Breugel. Pannekoeken's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. Cãtãlin Cazacu scored 0-2 in the 24th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Harold Breugel, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Arno Zonneveld sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Florin Vrednic charged in rather forcefully in the 41st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Florin Vrednic the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 41st match minute, FC Truseni was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Florin Vrednic to maneuver through the defense. In the 42nd minute the ball was on its way in behind FC Truseni's goalkeeper Vadim Macovei, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Grigore Josan scored 0-3 in the 46th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Harold Breugel, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Arno Zonneveld was the one to do the kick off. Arno Zonneveld sent away a hard shot on goal in the 61st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. When the match had gone on for 67 minutes, Eduard Halipa took a quick shot and it went in 0-4 without a chance for Harold Breugel to make any attempt to save it. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Cãtãlin Cazacu in the 70th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Harold Breugel saved Pannekoeken from getting behind. In the 71st match minute, FC Truseni was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Grigore Ciuche to maneuver through the defense. When Martijn Winters fell near the penalty area in the 72nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Pannekoeken's protests and gave Martijn Winters a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of FC Truseni booed when Pannekoeken was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 72 match minutes in a wonderful position. Martijn Winters didn't get a good kick on the ball. 79 minutes into the match, Cãtãlin Cazacu notched a goal, 0-5, to the right of Pannekoeken's Harold Breugel. Harold Breugel was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. FC Truseni's Vadim Macovei played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Arno Zonneveld in the 82nd minute of play. After a rather tough play, FC Truseni's Florin Vrednic got a free kick in the 82nd minute. The audience was convinced that Arno Zonneveld's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Vadim Macovei was relentless in the 85th minute of the game. After a defensive mix-up in FC Truseni's zone, Rafael Lambers stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Vadim Macovei came out of the goal and Rafael Lambers tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Vadim Macovei made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Arno Zonneveld in the 88th minute of play. In the 90th minute Tudor Fratea shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Harold Breugel saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The Pannekoeken fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. FC Truseni were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
