El Bunker!
Spectators: 7441 (Terracing: 5582, Seating: 1711, VIP seats: 148) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Pim van Gaal kicked off to start the match. Texeira Rancaño received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 3rd minute. Teun Gierman tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Johan Heuving received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 7th minute. Bruno Cuellar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Bruno Cuellar stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Pim van Gaal's shot from short distance in the 9th minute. After a defensive mix-up in Nadzieja Speed Elblag's zone, Carcelén Oribe stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Teun Gierman came out of the goal and Carcelén Oribe tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Walme Azuela fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 15th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Teun Gierman having to interfere. 17 minutes into the match, Bart Koekkoek notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Kaiser!'s Bruno Cuellar. Bruno Cuellar was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. When the match had gone on for 22 minutes, Pim van Gaal put it in 0-2 from a short distance just to the right of Bruno Cuellar. Bruno Cuellar stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Pim van Gaal's shot from short distance in the 33rd minute. Pim van Gaal sent away a hard shot on goal in the 39th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 41st minute, Texeira Rancaño managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kaiser!'s supporters rose to their feet, but Texeira Rancaño was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Teun Gierman breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 43 played minutes, Kaiser!'s Diego Errasti shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Teun Gierman came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Kaiser! reached it. Carcelén Oribe received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 47th minute. Teun Gierman tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-2 lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Carcelén Oribe made a kick off. After a rather tough play, Kaiser!'s Texeira Rancaño got a free kick in the 51st minute. Teun Gierman showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Texeira Rancaño, who was totally free with the ball in the 58th minute. Carcelén Oribe took the ball and in the 59 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Teun Gierman. Teun Gierman dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-2. After some careless play in the Nadzieja Speed Elblag defense, Fiallos Terrazos kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Teun Gierman. The Nadzieja Speed Elblag fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Teun Gierman should have stopped the shot. In the 66th minute, Carcelén Oribe hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Bart Koekkoek's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Bruno Cuellar read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 68th minute of play. If Carcelén Oribe had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 70th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Teun Gierman didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Texeira Rancaño went, in the 71st minute, to the upper right corner, 3-2 was the resulting score. In the 75th minute the ball was on its way in behind Nadzieja Speed Elblag's goalkeeper Teun Gierman, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Diego Errasti took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 80th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Teun Gierman. Nadzieja Speed Elblag's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. After 86 played minutes Kaiser! got a freekick which was hit by Fiallos Terrazos. Teun Gierman took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Walme Azuela, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After a rather tough play, Kaiser!'s Urbano Artiaga got a free kick in the 91st minute. Nadzieja Speed Elblag's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
