The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. 7 minutes into the game, Hungarian Olympic's János Fazekas nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. German Benat made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-0. Ábel Szentesi took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Rogelio Leobardo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. German Benat made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from János Dala in the 16th minute of play. A collision led to Hungarian Olympic getting a freekick after 21 minutes play. Csaba Joó hit a great ball. The supporters of PauoL & The Queen booed when Hungarian Olympic was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 23 match minutes in a wonderful position. János Fazekas didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Adan Abastas came up free with the goalie in the 26th minute, the PauoL & The Queen 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 Adan Abastas couldn't finish the play. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Gergely Soós during the 30th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 30th match minute, Hungarian Olympic was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Gergely Soós to maneuver through the defense. An unexpectedly hard shot by Adan Abastas in the 33rd minute of play forced Hungarian Olympic's goalkeeper Ábel Szentesi to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 36 minutes into the match, Hungarian Olympic's goal looked a bit too open when Adan Abastas came free, but Ábel Szentesi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a rather tough play, PauoL & The Queen's Martin Seme got a free kick in the 37th minute. In the 39th minute János Dala shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but German Benat saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. German Benat made a fantastic save in the 45th minute, when János Fazekas sent off a good shot on target. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 1-0 at half-time.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for János Fazekas to strike the kick off in the second half. German Benat showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from János Dala, who was totally free with the ball in the 64th minute. When Krisztián Radnai fell near the penalty area in the 67th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Hungarian Olympic's protests and gave Krisztián Radnai a yellow card for diving instead. Csaba Joó blasted a shot towards the goal in the 74th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without German Benat having to make a save. Manuel Chorche struck a weak shot in the 77th minute. Ábel Szentesi didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for PauoL & The Queen. In the 87th minute, Clemente Calisto hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After some fancy dribbling in the 91st minute, Csaba Joó managed to get in a good position for a shot. Hungarian Olympic's supporters rose to their feet, but Csaba Joó was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. German Benat breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Hungarian Olympic were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of PauoL & The Queen for a fine match.
