Spectators: 9471 (Terracing: 7100, Seating: 2182, VIP seats: 189) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Peter Porteus got the match started through his kick off. A collision led to ☆冰谷☆〓新势力〓Genshin丨万叶YYDS getting a freekick after 7 minutes play. Earl Colman hit a great ball. When Jervis Nobes came up free with the goalie in the 10th minute, the ☆冰谷☆〓新势力〓Genshin丨万叶YYDS 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 Jervis Nobes couldn't finish the play. In the 13th minute Sílvio Luís Ceresso shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Grant Missen saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Peter Porteus's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Võ Gozali read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 23rd minute of play. Sílvio Luís Ceresso kicked well hit freekick during the 24th minute of the match. If Casper Beattie had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Flaco López in the 31st minute of play forced ☆冰谷☆〓新势力〓Genshin丨万叶YYDS's goalkeeper Grant Missen to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. A hard shot 34 in the game by Jervis Nobes from a close distance when the talented Võ Gozali managed to make a qualified save. JFSP's players were relieved. When Laerte Fernandes fell near the penalty area in the 39th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored JFSP's protests and gave Laerte Fernandes a yellow card for diving instead. 44 minutes into the game, Flaco López cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-2. Grant Missen was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Sílvio Luís Ceresso to make the kick off. Grant Missen came out of the goal in the 56th minute to try and stop a shot by JFSP's Flaco López. But to his dismay, Flaco López quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-3. ☆冰谷☆〓新势力〓Genshin丨万叶YYDS's Bruce Mackney was substituted for Peter Porteus. Bruce Mackney sent away a hard shot on goal in the 62nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 69 minutes had been played when some careless play by JFSP's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Casper Beattie was slow to take the kick. During this time ☆冰谷☆〓新势力〓Genshin丨万叶YYDS's players had a chance to rest. The corner led ☆冰谷☆〓新势力〓Genshin丨万叶YYDS's Casper Beattie to fire away a dangerous shot which Võ Gozali despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Grant Missen showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Flaco López in the 76th minute of the match. In the 76th match minute, ☆冰谷☆〓新势力〓Genshin丨万叶YYDS was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Angelo Nolan to maneuver through the defense. In the 81st minute Casper Beattie shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Võ Gozali saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 83 minutes of play, ☆冰谷☆〓新势力〓Genshin丨万叶YYDS's Jervis Nobes made it 2-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Võ Gozali was left in no man's land by his defense there! When the match had gone on for 88 minutes, Casper Beattie put it in 3-3 from a short distance just to the right of Võ Gozali. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Preston Christini during the 91st minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After a rather tough play, ☆冰谷☆〓新势力〓Genshin丨万叶YYDS's Preston Christini got a free kick in the 91st minute. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
