Summary: Telstar – Hollandia – NH Sport/Frank van der Meijden

At Telstar, strong holders Özgür Aktas, Ozan Kökcü and striker Glynor Plet were missing due to injuries. Mike Snoei was particularly disappointed that the latter was absent. Without Plet, Telstar lacked a point of contact up front. Still, it was the most forward player to break the spell on behalf of Telstar. Yahya Boussakou crowned the good opening phase of the White Lions with the 1-0.

Ten minutes before the break, Hollandia goalkeeper Joey Wisse was passed for the second time. However, it was central defender Joep Rive who shot the ball behind his keeper and thus put the 2-0 score on the board.
