Pensioners 2.0's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Marc Klinkenberg 8 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 1-0. In the 14th minute Quincy Fitzsimmons shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tristan Vinck saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 16 minutes had been played when some careless play by Tri Owe FC's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner.

Pensioners 2.0's defense didn't have a chance, in the 33rd minute, when Diederick Van Parijs scored to the left of an out of position Davey Curtis, making the score, 2-0.
