Spectators: 6872 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1772, VIP seats: 100) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Aaron Warren took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 4th minute Shannon Eckert shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Renato Eddy saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. C. A. Pipon Pipon 2.0's Francis Engle got a good chance for a goal in the 5th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 10 minutes into the match, Francis Engle had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Renato Eddy. ★ηΣw JΣяSΣY DΣv1Ls Tm★'s manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Francis Engle was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. The audience was convinced that Shannon Eckert's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Renato Eddy was relentless in the 14th minute of the game. After a defensive mix-up in ★ηΣw JΣяSΣY DΣv1Ls Tm★'s zone, Shannon Eckert stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Renato Eddy came out of the goal and Shannon Eckert tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 22 minutes into the match, Nigel Ernst notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of ★ηΣw JΣяSΣY DΣv1Ls Tm★'s Renato Eddy.

In the 29th minute, Aaron Warren 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. Renato Eddy showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Francis Engle, who was totally free with the ball in the 34th minute. Aaron Warren received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 37th minute. Emanuel Bennett tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. With a little luck, C. A. Pipon Pipon 2.0's Emanuel Bennett got control of the ball when Mel Bolden tried to sneak it across the goal line. If Aaron Warren had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 46th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-2.
