Spectators: 8052 (Terracing: 6040, Seating: 1852, VIP seats: 160) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Thomas McBrandon started the match with the kick off. Sebastián Brunø scored 1-0 in the 3rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Alan Ryan, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. The audience thought a goal was coming when Johan-Sebastián Rekawiczka got free with Alan Ryan in the 10th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Marc Ahlbeck made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Benjamin Palmer in the 14th minute of play. Riddock Tierney received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Alan Ryan came out and tried to block the shot, but Riddock Tierney slotted it home off the left post making it 3-0 in the 18th minute. The crowd rose to their feet as Mad Souls™'s Golaki McGillegowie slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Alan Ryan. That made the score 4-1 after 25 minutes of play. Harrigan McWillie fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 29th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Marc Ahlbeck having to interfere. Golaki McGillegowie could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 35th minute of the match, but Alan Ryan made a huge save. Alan Ryan showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Riddock Tierney in the 40th minute of the match. A collision led to Berna M1L GRAU getting a freekick after 48 minutes play. Finbar Taylor hit a great ball. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 6-1.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Riddock Tierney to make the kick off. 53 minutes into the game, Sebastián Brunø cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 7-1. Alan Ryan was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Harrigan McWillie sent away a hard shot on goal in the 57th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Thomas McBrandon recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 58th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Marc Ahlbeck was out of position in the 61 minute of play, and Harrigan McWillie capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Harrigan McWillie really showed his touch with that goal: 7-2. 65 minutes into the match, Berna M1L GRAU's goal looked a bit too open when Beatty Doherty came free, but Alan Ryan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Bradon Sheridan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 69 minutes, Harrigan McWillie managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Berna M1L GRAU's supporters crossed their fingers, but Harrigan McWillie was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Riddock Tierney in the 70th minute of play forced Berna M1L GRAU's goalkeeper Alan Ryan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 75th minute, Golaki McGillegowie ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Alan Ryan was frozen by the shot and now it was 8-2.

In the 80th minute, Finbar Taylor hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.
