Spectators: 7547 (Terracing: 5500, Seating: 1947, VIP seats: 100) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Art Salmons kicked off to start the match. Art Salmons sent away a hard shot on goal in the 9th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Brain Romano had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, MURGASH's Mauro Childers got a free kick in the 27th minute. Yann Hobbs received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 33rd minute. Léopold Crain tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 36th minute of the match, Art Salmons tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Léopold Crain saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. Joel Boswell showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Brain Romano, who was totally free with the ball in the 39th minute. Randy Waddell hit a great freekick 45 minutes into the match. After 48 played minutes DOE FC got a freekick which was hit by Brain Romano. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 1-0 at half-time.

The wind increased when Brain Romano made the kick off in the second half. Joel Boswell made an important save on a dangerous shot by Franklyn Courcelle in the 54th minute. When Yann Hobbs came up free with the goalie in the 55th minute, the MURGASH 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 Yann Hobbs couldn't finish the play. MURGASH's Stevie Finch was substituted for Rosario Proctor. After a rather tough play, MURGASH's Shad Funk got a free kick in the 60th minute. When Arden Oneill fell near the penalty area in the 64th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored DOE FC's protests and gave Arden Oneill a yellow card for diving instead. In the 64th minute, Arden Oneill hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 65th minute, Olen Zamora 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. 67 minutes into the match, DOE FC's goal looked a bit too open when Art Salmons came free, but Léopold Crain reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Yann Hobbs in the 69th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Léopold Crain saved DOE FC from getting behind. A collision led to MURGASH getting a freekick after 70 minutes play. Shad Funk hit a great ball. In the 71st minute, MURGASH's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Franklyn Courcelle fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. Art Salmons fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 74th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Léopold Crain having to interfere. The supporters of MURGASH booed when DOE FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 77 match minutes in a wonderful position. Brain Romano didn't get a good kick on the ball. DOE FC's Léopold Crain played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Yann Hobbs in the 79th minute of play. After 84 played minutes DOE FC got a freekick which was hit by Brandon Fagan. Léopold Crain showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Yann Hobbs in the 86th minute of the match. In the 89th minute Yann Hobbs shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Léopold Crain saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. MURGASH fully deserved thier win.
