Spectators: 10491 (Terracing: 7800, Seating: 2491, VIP seats: 200) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Edmundson Ross started the match with the kick off. Domenico Rosi's late challenge caught a Sao Brasola's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Domenico Rosi helped the player get up and apologised. In the 2nd match minute, ❇ᛗᛁᛏᚱᚺ‍ᚨᚾᛞᛁᚱ❇ was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Domenico Rosi to maneuver through the defense. Marjus Laçka was out of position in the 4 minute of play, and Pierrot Leenpoels capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Pierrot Leenpoels really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. Marjus Laçka took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Amedeo Hell, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Marjus Laçka made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Amedeo Hell in the 13th minute of play.

Urbano Saturnin made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Edmundson Ross in the 40th minute of play. Ken Adams hit a great freekick 43 minutes into the match. Ferdinando Boninsegna, 44 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. In the 48th minute, Elia Di Vincenzo 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. ❇ᛗᛁᛏᚱᚺ‍ᚨᚾᛞᛁᚱ❇ made a substitution. George Wennersten replaced Ferdinando Boninsegna. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

Marjus Laçka took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Carter Di Fazio, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The supporters of Sao Brasola booed when ❇ᛗᛁᛏᚱᚺ‍ᚨᚾᛞᛁᚱ❇ was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 87 match minutes in a wonderful position. Domenico Rosi didn't get a good kick on the ball. 90 minutes into the match, ❇ᛗᛁᛏᚱᚺ‍ᚨᚾᛞᛁᚱ❇'s goal looked a bit too open when Carter Di Fazio came free, but Marjus Laçka reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 93rd minute Amedeo Hell shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Marjus Laçka saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A collision led to Sao Brasola getting a freekick after 97 minutes play. Emiliano De Leonardis hit a great ball. The long shot by David Beckham in the 98th minute really tested Urbano Saturnin's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal.
