Spectators: 7751 (Terracing: 5815, Seating: 1782, VIP seats: 154) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Lanny Gilmore started the match with the kick off. 4 minutes into the match, TheBambiTooFurious's 何松烨 sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Aaron Smallwood narrowly saved just below the crossbar. 5 minutes had been played when some careless play by Santos FC's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Frasco Ferreira was slow to take the kick. During this time TheBambiTooFurious's players had a chance to rest. An unexpectedly hard shot by Lanny Gilmore in the 7th minute of play forced TheBambiTooFurious's goalkeeper Vasco Goycochea to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 8 minutes into the match, TheBambiTooFurious's goal looked a bit too open when Lanny Gilmore came free, but Vasco Goycochea reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 15th minute 何松烨 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Aaron Smallwood saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 20th minute, Dominic Albright hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Lanny Gilmore had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 何松烨 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 31st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Aaron Smallwood made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from 何松烨 in the 31st minute of play. Lanny Gilmore sent away a hard shot on goal in the 33rd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Vasco Goycochea showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Lanny Gilmore, who was totally free with the ball in the 33rd minute. If 何松烨 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Santos FC's Aaron Smallwood played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by 何松烨 in the 35th minute of play. Avelino Figueiredo took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 38th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Aaron Smallwood. Santos FC's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. When Arturo Turner came up free with the goalie in the 39th minute, the Santos FC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Arturo Turner couldn't finish the play. The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and 何松烨 made a kick off. 何松烨 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 58th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. 58 minutes into the match, Santos FC's goal looked a bit too open when 何松烨 came free, but Aaron Smallwood reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The audience was convinced that 何松烨's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Aaron Smallwood was relentless in the 70th minute of the game. TheBambiTooFurious's Mateo Transito was substituted for 何松烨. Santos FC's attentive Mike Richardson managed to snatch the ball when Avelino Figueiredo made a throw-in in the 86th minute of the game. Vasco Goycochea took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Tyron Velasquez, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.
