Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Hubert Hollandts took the kick off in the first half of the match. RSC Sint-Gillis-Waas's defense didn't have a chance, in the 5th minute, when Willy Goolen scored to the left of an out of position Rob Neys, making the score, 1-0. When Willy Goolen came up free with the goalie in the 13th minute, the Aalbeked fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Willy Goolen couldn't finish the play. Gino Demeulemeester fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 33rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rob Neys having to interfere. 34 minutes into the match, RSC Sint-Gillis-Waas's goal looked a bit too open when Ief Van dooren came free, but Rob Neys reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

In the 54th minute, Willy Goolen ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Rob Neys was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-1. Aalbeked's Lennert Daneels got a good chance for a goal in the 58th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After 62 minutes, Ief Van dooren mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Aalbeked and the RSC Sint-Gillis-Waas players grew even worse after the yellow card. Ief Van dooren kicked well hit freekick during the 62nd minute of the match. In the 68th minute, Gino Demeulemeester got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. After 71 minutes, Bastiaan Matthys mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the RSC Sint-Gillis-Waas and the Aalbeked players grew even worse after the yellow card. 77 minutes into the game, Aalbeked's Lennert Daneels nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Rob Neys made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 3-1. Gino Demeulemeester sent away a hard shot on goal in the 92nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. RSC Sint-Gillis-Waas's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
