Staphorst — UNA: 2:2, KNVB Beker

Y. Mejres gave Staforst the lead in the fifth minute before S. Crowther equalised for UNA in the thirty-fourth. Crowther then missed a penalty in the seventy-eighth, and it was not until extra time that M. de Koe restored Staforst's advantage in the hundred-and-third minute.

The hundred-and-twenty-first minute brought a penalty goal for L. Jagt, followed by a missed spot-kick. O. Yelkovan scored in the hundred-and-twenty-second minute, and the shootout continued with both sides trading attempts for several minutes.
