Spectators: 50 (Terracing: 38, Seating: 11, VIP seats: 1) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Antonio Pinal made the kick off which started today's match. In the 2nd match minute, Harry Cool was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Long Tencer to maneuver through the defense.

In the 18th minute, NFC Eagles 22's Bastiaan Rekers seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Bastiaan Rekers the red card, dismissing him from the pitch.

In the 19th minute there was a penalty for Harry Cool. Donovan Kaine stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Rafael Heijer. 0-3. If Tommy Kaine had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

In the 48th minute, Andreas Deinse hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After some fancy dribbling in the 48th minute, Donovan Kaine managed to get in a good position for a shot. Harry Cool's supporters rose to their feet, but Donovan Kaine was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Rafael Heijer breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Disappointed in the 0-5 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Nico-Jan Ihselmann stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. After 55 played minutes Antonio Pinal rounded NFC Eagles 22's defense and shot a beautiful shot into goal via left pole - 0-6.

Tommy Kaine scored 0-8 in the 86th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Rafael Heijer, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Tommy Kaine came free with the goalkeeper in the 92nd minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Rafael Heijer could save by the left post. When the match was over Harry Cool could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than NFC Eagles 22 throughout the match.
