Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) An unexpectedly hard shot by Ragnar Lönn in the 4th minute of play forced La Scaloneta's goalkeeper Ildefonso Loi to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ildefonso Loi made a fantastic save in the 5th minute, when Liu Chao Xiao sent off a good shot on target. After a rather tough play, La Scaloneta's Ezequiel Ihintza got a free kick in the 10th minute. 15 minutes into the match, Club 23's goal looked a bit too open when Nicolás Blandi came free, but Remus Vuia reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ragnar Lönn sent away a hard shot on goal in the 17th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Club 23's Niculae Cângea was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Ildefonso Loi in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. In the 31st minute Apolo Peto shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Remus Vuia saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Mario Mandzukic in the 32nd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Remus Vuia saved Club 23 from getting behind. La Scaloneta's Ildefonso Loi proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 34th minute of the match, managed to save La Scaloneta from getting a goal against them. The crowd rose to their feet as Liu Chao Xiao kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Ildefonso Loi. That made the score 1-0 in the 40 minute of play. Remus Vuia didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Nicolás Blandi went, in the 44th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Mario Mandzukic to strike the kick off in the second half. After 55 minutes La Scaloneta's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Niculae Cângea who took care of the corner kick. After taking down the ball on Club 23's corner Ragnar Lönn fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Ildefonso Loi quite easily take care of the ball. If Apolo Peto had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 57th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 59th minute, Liu Chao Xiao made a precise shot to the right of Ildefonso Loi. La Scaloneta's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-1. Liu Chao Xiao took the ball and in the 66 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Ildefonso Loi. Ildefonso Loi dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 3-1. Club 23 made a substitution. Jaime Remicio replaced Qu Yan Nan. Club 23's Șerban Dan was substituted for Stelian Orescu. Liu Chao Xiao sent away a hard shot on goal in the 70th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Mario Mandzukic kicked well hit freekick during the 73rd minute of the match. 75 minutes into the match, Ragnar Lönn had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Ildefonso Loi. La Scaloneta's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ragnar Lönn was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 4-1. After 86 minutes of play, Club 23's Aron Chițes made it 5-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Ildefonso Loi was left in no man's land by his defense there! 90 minutes into the match, La Scaloneta's goal looked a bit too open when Aron Chițes came free, but Ildefonso Loi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Aron Chițes scored 6-1 in the 91st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Ildefonso Loi, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. A sloppy throw-in by Gualterio Mano in the 94th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by Club 23's Roch Marud. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Club 23 fully deserved thier win.
