Jermaine Richmond came out of the goal and Truman Crockett tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Osvaldinho Ósvaldsson in the 11th minute of play forced Khachatryan's goalkeeper Jermaine Richmond to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Jermaine Richmond took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Osvaldinho Ósvaldsson, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 18th minute Osvaldinho Ósvaldsson shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jermaine Richmond saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 25 minutes Khachatryan's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Osvaldinho Ósvaldsson who took care of the corner kick. A nice corner shot did that Osvaldinho Ósvaldsson got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Jermaine Richmond quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. Truman Crockett recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 35th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

After 49 played minutes Khachatryan got a freekick which was hit by Hu Wei Shu. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Osvaldinho Ósvaldsson to strike the kick off in the second half. Osvaldinho Ósvaldsson could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 55th minute of the match, but Jermaine Richmond made a huge save. Jarrod Leary made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Merlin Castro in the 59th minute of play. The audience was convinced that Merlin Castro's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Jarrod Leary was relentless in the 59th minute of the game. 65 minutes into the game, Anton Swanson recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Jermaine Richmond. Anton Swanson showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 0-2. Khachatryan made a substitution. Petros Oganesyan replaced Hu Wei Shu. Khachatryan's Arin Mndoyants was substituted for Tigran Kirakosyan. Khachatryan's Zé Augusto Souza was substituted for Antoine Schaefer.

In the 79th minute, Ervin Huber hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Chance Adams sent away a hard shot on goal in the 81st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. If Anton Swanson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Racing Miami Futbol Club's Truman Crockett suffered a sprained foot after 88 minutes and couldn't finish the game. When Bin Baresi fell near the penalty area in the 88th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Khachatryan's protests and gave Bin Baresi a yellow card for diving instead. Bin Baresi kicked well hit freekick during the 89th minute of the match. In the 92nd minute, Khachatryan's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Chance Adams fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. Jermaine Richmond showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Rodney Hagen, who was totally free with the ball in the 94th minute. Racing Miami Futbol Club played a much better game than Khachatryan and deserved their victory. The Khachatryan players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
