Spectators: 146 (Terracing: 110, Seating: 34, VIP seats: 2) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Lucio Hori started the match with the kick off. After 4 minutes of play, Cridas FC's Lucio Hori made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Ümit Orak was left in no man's land by his defense there! When the match had gone on for 6 minutes, Lucio Hori put it in 2-0 from a short distance just to the right of Ümit Orak. Ümit Orak made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Lucio Hori in the 20th minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Lucio Hori in the 22nd minute of play forced BATMAN SK's goalkeeper Ümit Orak to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Nestor Soin's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Ümit Orak firmly grabbed it by the left post. 28 minutes into the match, BATMAN SK's goalkeeper Ümit Orak had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Nestor Soin. Nestor Soins short, quick shot in the 29thth minute got Ümit Orak to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Hürkan Zeynel hit a great freekick 33 minutes into the match. Gabriel Cordero kicked well hit freekick during the 36th minute of the match. 38 minutes into the match, Nestor Soin notched a goal, 3-0, to the right of BATMAN SK's Ümit Orak. Ümit Orak was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 40 minutes into the game, Gualterio Libertad cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 4-0. Ümit Orak was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. In the 48th minute, Gualterio Libertad left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Cridas FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 5-0. Af the end of the first half the score was 5-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Xie Chuan made a kick off. Lucio Hori took the ball and in the 54 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Ümit Orak. Ümit Orak dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 6-0. Ümit Orak showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Nestor Soin in the 56th minute of the match. If Lucio Hori had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 62nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Nestor Soin in the 69th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Ümit Orak saved BATMAN SK from getting behind. After a defensive mix-up in Cridas FC's zone, Xie Chuan stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Gerónimo Rulli came out of the goal and Xie Chuan tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When the match clock showed 72 minutes, the score became 7-0 when Lucio Hori sped through BATMAN SK's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Ümit Orak. With a little luck, Cridas FC's Gerónimo Rulli got control of the ball when Xie Chuan tried to sneak it across the goal line. 80 minutes into the match, BATMAN SK's goal looked a bit too open when Lucio Hori came free, but Ümit Orak reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 87 minutes into the match, Gualterio Libertad had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Ümit Orak. BATMAN SK's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Gualterio Libertad was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 8-0. Lucio Hori sent away a hard shot on goal in the 90th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 95 minutes into the game, Hürkan Zeynel was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. BATMAN SK's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Cridas FC the free kick. Lucio Hori recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 96th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When the match clock showed 97 minutes, the score became 9-0 when Lucio Hori sped through BATMAN SK's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Ümit Orak.
