Spectators: 47 (Terracing: 36, Seating: 11, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Etienne Langhmans kicked off to start the match. When Klaus Dhondt fell near the penalty area in the 2nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored FC Draconia's protests and gave Klaus Dhondt a yellow card for diving instead. In the 2nd match minute, FC Draconia was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Klaus Dhondt to maneuver through the defense. The audience was convinced that Etienne Langhmans's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Vinicio Bidari was relentless in the 7th minute of the game. Vinicio Bidari showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ief Depauw in the 10th minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Okan Buruk in the 11th minute of play forced The Old Boys's goalkeeper Vinicio Bidari to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 13th minute, Okan Buruk made a precise shot to the right of Vinicio Bidari. The Old Boys's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. Jacobo Gomesano's late challenge caught a FC Draconia's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Jacobo Gomesano helped the player get up and apologised. Jacobo Gomesano hit a great freekick 19 minutes into the match. After 22 minutes, Etienne Langhmans made it 0-2 with a short kick to the right side. The Old Boys's Vinicio Bidari tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Okan Buruk struck a weak shot in the 25th minute. Vinicio Bidari didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for FC Draconia. After some fancy dribbling in the 30th minute, Etienne Langhmans managed to get in a good position for a shot. FC Draconia's supporters rose to their feet, but Etienne Langhmans was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Vinicio Bidari breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. FC Draconia's Uwe Nwachukwu proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 35th minute of the match, managed to save FC Draconia from getting a goal against them. After the first half FC Draconia were leading 0-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

In the 58th minute Ief Depauw shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Vinicio Bidari saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 61st minute, The Old Boys's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Okan Buruk fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. Etienne Langhmanss short, quick shot in the 64thth minute got Vinicio Bidari to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Etienne Langhmans did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 0-3 to the left of a surprised Vinicio Bidari 64 minutes into the match. Uwe Nwachukwu showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Aquilino Lauren in the 67th minute of the match.

In the 76th minute, Etienne Langhmans left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The FC Draconia fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-4. In the 82nd minute the ball was on its way in behind The Old Boys's goalkeeper Vinicio Bidari, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 86 minutes into the match, FC Draconia's goal looked a bit too open when Jairo Lizar came free, but Uwe Nwachukwu reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Etienne Langhmans got free with Vinicio Bidari in the 93rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. A hard shot by Klaus Dhondt from long distance, 94 minutes into the match, got Vinicio Bidari's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. If Okan Buruk had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 96th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 97th match minute, The Old Boys was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Jacobo Gomesano to maneuver through the defense. Vinicio Bidari made a fantastic save in the 98th minute, when Etienne Langhmans sent off a good shot on target.
