Rex Bynum received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 19th minute. Scot Stephenson tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Rex Bynum had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 21st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

52 minutes into the game, Jerold Trimble was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. CROW RAVEN's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Fallbrook AFC the free kick. The supporters of Fallbrook AFC booed when CROW RAVEN was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 52 match minutes in a wonderful position. Jerold Trimble didn't get a good kick on the ball. Rex Bynum received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 53rd minute. Scot Stephenson tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Fallbrook AFC's zone, Clay Weir stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Andre Kimbrough came out of the goal and Clay Weir tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Hayden Hickman came up free with the goalie in the 66th minute, the Fallbrook AFC 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 Hayden Hickman couldn't finish the play. When Teodoro Glenn fell near the penalty area in the 71st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Fallbrook AFC's protests and gave Teodoro Glenn a yellow card for diving instead. Teodoro Glenn hit a great freekick 71 minutes into the match. Clay Weir's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Andre Kimbrough read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 76th minute of play. When Jerold Trimble was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 77 minutes had been played. After 78 played minutes CROW RAVEN got a freekick which was hit by Jerold Trimble. Omar Tanner came free in the 81st minute and tried to tip the ball over Andre Kimbrough, but to the joy of Fallbrook AFC's supporters the ball went over. After some fancy dribbling in the 84th minute, Freddie Chapman managed to get in a good position for a shot. CROW RAVEN's supporters rose to their feet, but Freddie Chapman was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Andre Kimbrough breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Dana Osborn recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 88th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After having played for 92 minutes, Hayden Hickman managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Fallbrook AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Hayden Hickman was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 93rd minute the ball was on its way in behind CROW RAVEN's goalkeeper Scot Stephenson, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Fallbrook AFC succeeded in salvaging a draw, even though CROW RAVEN had controlled the match.
