Though Maaskant’s players made us wait for the first goal of the match, they managed to score twice within only a couple of minutes. In the 41st minute Patryk Małecki scored the first goal of the match after a pass from Cvetan Genkov. Małecki repeated his feat just two minutes later when Andraž Kirm ran on the left side of the pitch and passed the ball to the penalty box. Genkov let the pass through to Małecki, who scored his second goal.

In the 66th minute the White Star made another attempt and scored their third goal. The play was initiated from midfield by Mikhail Sivakov, who passed to Radosław Sobolewski. After a one touch play with Maor Melikson Sobolewski was one on one with Hutar. The Pole fooled the goalie and nearly fell into the empty net along with the ball.

Sergei Pareiko was close to keeping a clean sheet, but Alex ruined his day with a goal just before the whistle. Though the Estonian goalkeeper managed a save against the first shot, he was powerless to the follow up.
