Spectators: 7953 (Terracing: 5966, Seating: 1829, VIP seats: 158) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Oscar Havier got the match started through his kick off. Oscar Havier struck a weak shot in the 3rd minute. Jairo Asteguieta didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Вежен. 5 minutes into the match, Oscar Havier had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Jairo Asteguieta. AC Morena's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Oscar Havier was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. After 8 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Вежен! When the match had been going on for 9 minutes, AC Morena's Aquiles Gana got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Van Halen. Aquiles Gana fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 13th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Van Halen having to interfere. The audience thought a goal was coming when Aquiles Gana got free with Van Halen in the 23rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. If Martyn Efremov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some careless play in the Вежен defense, Aquiles Gana kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Van Halen. The Вежен fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Van Halen should have stopped the shot. An unexpectedly hard shot by Oscar Havier in the 36th minute of play forced AC Morena's goalkeeper Jairo Asteguieta to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Aquiles Gana succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 3-2 in the 38th playminute. Oscar Havier scored 3-3 in the 41st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Jairo Asteguieta, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Alex Cellucci hit a great freekick 43 minutes into the match. Jairo Asteguieta stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Oscar Havier's shot from short distance in the 45th minute. In the 46th minute, Martyn Efremov made a precise shot to the right of Jairo Asteguieta. AC Morena's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 3-4. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 3-4 lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Aquiles Gana to strike the kick off in the second half. Alex Cellucci made in the 52nd minute of the game a throw-in that took a bad bounce and was taken care of by Вежен's Christiaan Enskens. The supporters of AC Morena booed when Вежен was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 59 match minutes in a wonderful position. Christiaan Enskens didn't get a good kick on the ball. The audience was convinced that Ercole Carosella's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Van Halen was relentless in the 69th minute of the game. AC Morena made a substitution. Cristoforo Labate replaced Aldo Di Biagio. In the 73rd minute of the match AC Morena got a corner. Вежен's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Ercole Carosella ran over to the corner to take the kick. AC Morena's Álvaro Fonseca was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Van Halen in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. In the 77th match minute, Вежен was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Deyan Petrinski to maneuver through the defense. 78 minutes into the match, Вежен's goal looked a bit too open when Aquiles Gana came free, but Van Halen reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Jairo Asteguieta showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Oscar Havier in the 81st minute of the match. A sloppy throw-in by Yazid Guinaudeau in the 82nd minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by Вежен's Christiaan Enskens. AC Morena's Alex Cellucci managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Deyan Petrinski in the 92 minute of the game. In a very dangerous position, a player in AC Morena fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 94th minute. Penalty! Jairo Asteguieta had in the 96thth minute some difficulties stopping Hermínio Peres's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. Вежен's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
