Liver Bird's Stig Verlengia played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Arturo Porreca in the 3rd minute of play. 17 minutes into the match, Liver Bird's goal looked a bit too open when Arturo Porreca came free, but Stig Verlengia reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Without hesitation aimed to the right of Jelte Zevenberg, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save.

This resulted in a 2-0 score and a disappointed Jelte Zevenberg as he didn't even see the shot coming. In the 37thth minute of the game Pat Eggers who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Beetje Moe Re-United's Jelte Zevenberg was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Teobaldo Loewe scored 4-0 in the 41st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Jelte Zevenberg, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 4-0 at half-time.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Arturo Porreca was the one to do the kick off. In the 58th minute Kryspin Raflewski shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jelte Zevenberg saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

The Beetje Moe Re-United fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 4-1. Komen Schotte sent away a hard shot on goal in the 63rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out.
