Pim van Gaal's late challenge caught a Fox Hunting Squad's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Pim van Gaal helped the player get up and apologised. Pim van Gaal kicked well hit freekick during the 6th minute of the match. When the match clock showed 12 minutes, the score became 0-2 when Jorg Vrijdags sped through Nadzieja Speed Elblag's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Teun Gierman. After 17 minutes of play Nadzieja Speed Elblag's Pim van Gaal was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. After 17 played minutes Nadzieja Speed Elblag got a freekick which was hit by Pim van Gaal. Teun Gierman made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Kasper De Cat in the 20th minute of play. Stef Graaff kicked well hit freekick during the 24th minute of the match. In the 26thth minute of the game Jorg Vrijdags who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Nadzieja Speed Elblag's Teun Gierman was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Teun Gierman took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Kasper De Cat, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Jorg Vrijdags sent away a hard shot on goal in the 36th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Quillian Lambrecht recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 39th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jorg Vrijdags in the 43rd minute of play forced Nadzieja Speed Elblag's goalkeeper Teun Gierman to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Quillian Lambrecht's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Teun Gierman read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 48th minute of play. The Nadzieja Speed Elblag players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Fox Hunting Squad were winning 0-3.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Andy Scholte made a kick off. When Kasper De Cat came up free with the goalie in the 59th minute, the Fox Hunting Squad 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 Kasper De Cat couldn't finish the play. 64 minutes into the game, Jorg Vrijdags recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Teun Gierman. Jorg Vrijdags showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 0-4. After a defensive mix-up in Nadzieja Speed Elblag's zone, Jorg Vrijdags stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Teun Gierman came out of the goal and Jorg Vrijdags tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Wilfred Brunt made in the 74th minute of the game a quick throw-in and Andy Scholte immediately put the ball in play. Teun Gierman stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Jorg Vrijdags's shot from short distance in the 75th minute. Teun Gierman was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Rolf Heers showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 0-5 in the 79 minute of play. Teun Gierman didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Jorg Vrijdags went, in the 83rd minute, to the upper right corner, 0-6 was the resulting score. If Jorg Vrijdags had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 86th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Andy Scholte sent away a hard shot on goal in the 90th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 95th minute, Stef Graaff hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Fox Hunting Squad's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
