Spectators: 165 (Terracing: 124, Seating: 38, VIP seats: 3) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Marty Hill took the kick off in the first half of the match. 5 minutes into the match, 1989 Blxsk's goal looked a bit too open when Marty Hill came free, but Agustín Ponce reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 6th minute the ball was on its way in behind 1989 Blxsk's goalkeeper Agustín Ponce, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After a rather tough play, 1989 Blxsk's Nicanor Gonsalve got a free kick in the 10th minute. Marty Hill could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 12th minute of the match, but Agustín Ponce made a huge save. In the 14th minute, Ruperto Aurre got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 15th match minute, 1989 Blxsk was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ruperto Aurre to maneuver through the defense. Heavenly Hooters's Ethan Zamora shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 16th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Agustín Ponce but with some difficulty. If Bernabe Dacio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 17th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Apolo Abreu shot the penalty kick by force right in the crossbar. No goal. Ruperto Aurre struck a weak shot in the 25th minute. Kyle Connor didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for 1989 Blxsk. Kyle Connor showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bernabe Dacio, who was totally free with the ball in the 36th minute. Marty Hill took the ball and in the 38 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Agustín Ponce. Agustín Ponce dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-0. 1989 Blxsk's Agustín Ponce proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 42nd minute of the match, managed to save 1989 Blxsk from getting a goal against them. Ruperto Aurre's late challenge caught a Heavenly Hooters's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ruperto Aurre helped the player get up and apologised. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 1-0 at half-time.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Apolo Abreu stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. If Shawn Banks had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 51st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ethan Zamora's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Agustín Ponce read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 58th minute of play. The corner ended in Ethan Zamora almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but 1989 Blxsk's Agustín Ponce did a great save. Jack Santos hit a great freekick 63 minutes into the match. Heavenly Hooters made a substitution. Max Langford replaced Shawn Banks. Barry Lowe fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 78th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Agustín Ponce having to interfere. In the 80th minute Max Langford shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Agustín Ponce saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 83rd minute, Apolo Abreu managed to get in a good position for a shot. 1989 Blxsk's supporters rose to their feet, but Apolo Abreu was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Kyle Connor breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 86 minutes into the match, Max Langford had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Agustín Ponce. 1989 Blxsk's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Max Langford was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-0. 91 minutes into the game, Max Langford cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 3-0. Agustín Ponce was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. 1989 Blxsk's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
