Spectators: 41 (Terracing: 32, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Peter Linkhorst started the match with the kick off. In a very dangerous position, a player in Mosqueteiros 4EVER fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 4th minute. Penalty! Hugo de Amorim had in the 5thth minute some difficulties stopping Adrian Våleman's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball.

Mosqueteiros 4EVER fully deserved thier win.
