After having played for 7 minutes, Fletcher Pritchett managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Blue Rock F.C.'s supporters crossed their fingers, but Fletcher Pritchett was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Jefferson Terra in the 13th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Ronny Beard saved Blue Rock F.C. from getting behind. The audience was convinced that Jefferson Terra's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Ronny Beard was relentless in the 16th minute of the game.
