Spectators: 45 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play.

In the 15th minute of the match, Armand Owerckx got a very nice opportunity to score, but Gwidon Iwanowski was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. When Zbyszek Paprotny fell near the penalty area in the 16th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Westbam's protests and gave Zbyszek Paprotny a yellow card for diving instead. Antonio Claeys showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Mateusz Badanowski in the 17th minute of the match. 19 minutes into the match, FC Ouagadougou National's goal looked a bit too open when Mateusz Badanowski came free, but Antonio Claeys reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

After the first half Westbam were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Teodoro Rocha to make the kick off. In the 55th minute the ball was on its way in behind Westbam's goalkeeper Gwidon Iwanowski, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. A collision led to Westbam getting a freekick after 59 minutes play. Leon Gaszynski hit a great ball. Ben Jaddon took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 59th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Gwidon Iwanowski. Westbam's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. 70 minutes into the game, Teodoro Rocha was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Westbam's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave FC Ouagadougou National the free kick. With a little luck, FC Ouagadougou National's Antonio Claeys got control of the ball when Teodoro Rocha tried to sneak it across the goal line.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Mateusz Badanowski in the 82nd minute of play forced FC Ouagadougou National's goalkeeper Antonio Claeys to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

After a rather tough play, Westbam's Czeslaw Furgat got a free kick in the 89th minute. Armand Owerckx 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. After 95 played minutes FC Ouagadougou National got a freekick which was hit by Jacques Lambert. When the match was over Westbam could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than FC Ouagadougou National throughout the match.
