Spectators: 7482 (Terracing: 5614, Seating: 1720, VIP seats: 148) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Dávid Strelec got the match started through his kick off. A collision led to Xl Team getting a freekick after 2 minutes play. Santiago Eladio hit a great ball. 9 minutes into the match, Dávid Strelec notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of Xl Team's Erubiel Cordeal. Erubiel Cordeal was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Severino Gombal charged in rather forcefully in the 11th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Severino Gombal the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 16th minute, Dolinka FK's Ľubomír Jurášek seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Ľubomír Jurášek the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Dolinka FK protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Ľubomír Jurášek had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. In a very dangerous position, a player in Dolinka FK fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 15th minute. Penalty! Dušan Tomčík had in the 18thth minute some difficulties stopping Braulio Stanislao's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his right side, but he still managed to hold the ball 18 minutes into the match, Braulio Stanislao had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Dušan Tomčík. Dolinka FK's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Braulio Stanislao was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2. In the 21st minute, Richard Bošák made a precise shot to the right of Erubiel Cordeal. Xl Team's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-3. In the 28th minute, Dávid Strelec made a precise shot to the right of Erubiel Cordeal. Xl Team's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-4. Agustin Iyan came free with the goalkeeper in the 32nd minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Dušan Tomčík could save by the left post. After 32 minutes, Ruperto Fe mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Xl Team and the Dolinka FK players grew even worse after the yellow card. Dávid Strelec sent away a hard shot on goal in the 37th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Matúš Molnár during the 39th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After 39 played minutes Dolinka FK got a freekick which was hit by Matúš Molnár. Dušan Tomčík took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Severino Gombal, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 44 minutes into the game, Xl Team's Ruperto Fe nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Dušan Tomčík made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-4. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 2-4 lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Agustin Iyan to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 56th minute, Dolinka FK's Dávid Strelec dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 2-5.

Dávid Strelec fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Erubiel Cordeal having to interfere. The supporters of Dolinka FK booed when Xl Team was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 72 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ruperto Fe didn't get a good kick on the ball. Erubiel Cordeal came out of the goal in the 76th minute to try and stop a shot by Dolinka FK's Dávid Strelec. But to his dismay, Dávid Strelec quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-7. After having played for 80 minutes, Dávid Strelec managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Dolinka FK's supporters crossed their fingers, but Dávid Strelec was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Dušan Tomčík showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ruperto Abascal, who was totally free with the ball in the 82nd minute. Erubiel Cordeal made an important save on a dangerous shot by Dávid Strelec in the 86th minute. In the 87th minute Agustin Iyan shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dušan Tomčík saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The audience was convinced that Ruperto Abascal's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Dušan Tomčík was relentless in the 91st minute of the game. In the 94th minute of the match, Dávid Strelec got a very nice opportunity to score, but Erubiel Cordeal was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. When the final whistle sounded Dolinka FK left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Xl Team.
