Spectators: 826 (Terracing: 620, Seating: 190, VIP seats: 16) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Louis Escobedo started the match with the kick off. The corner went over the outstretched arms of ARMENIAN 11's goalie and right to Deshawn Steiner. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. ARMENIAN 11's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. Dexter Ogden recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 13th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

The ARMENIAN 11 fans' excitement grew in the 40th match minute when ARMENIAN 11's Stanton Mueller looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-2 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. 43 minutes into the match, ARMENIAN 11's goal looked a bit too open when Louis Escobedo came free, but Gregorio Green reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
