Spectators: 169 (Terracing: 127, Seating: 39, VIP seats: 3) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Younis Taqi kicked off to start the match. Andriy Shevchenko received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 8th minute. Bassam Al Hadad tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 10th minute, Vatan Kambay ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Bassam Al Hadad was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-0. If Matías Pimenta had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Bassam Al Hadad showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ariel Ponc in the 17th minute of the match. Younis Taqi kicked well hit freekick during the 18th minute of the match. Tony Mendes did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 3-0 to the left of a surprised Bassam Al Hadad 20 minutes into the match. In the 26th minute, Ariel Ponc fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Bassam Al Hadad, passed just outside the right post.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Vatan Kambay was the one to do the kick off. Bassam Al Hadad made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ariel Ponc in the 53rd minute of play. After 54th play minutes Andriy Shevchenko shot 8-0, a short shot which went by Bassam Al Hadad and just under the crossbar into goal. Ariel Ponc might have been able to make a better finish in the 59th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Bassam Al Hadad. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Ariel Ponc ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 59th minute, Vatan Kambay left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net.

Fuad Al Youha made in the 70th minute of the game a sloppy throw-in which Hamed Al Bloshi however managed to control. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Vatan Kambay in the 72nd minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Bassam Al Hadad prevented the ball from getting in the gole. 73 minutes into the game, Fadhel Al Towatan was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Saudi Pro Team City's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave A.D Leônico the free kick. The supporters of A.D Leônico booed when Saudi Pro Team City was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 73 match minutes in a wonderful position. Fadhel Al Towatan didn't get a good kick on the ball.

Vatan Kambay sent away a hard shot on goal in the 76th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 83rd minute, Vatan Kambay left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The A.D Leônico fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 13-0. 85 minutes into the match, Andriy Shevchenko had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Bassam Al Hadad. Saudi Pro Team City's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Andriy Shevchenko was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 14-0. Bassam Al Hadad came out of the goal in the 89th minute to try and stop a shot by A.D Leônico's Ariel Ponc. But to his dismay, Ariel Ponc quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 15-0. The audience was convinced that Tony Mendes's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Bassam Al Hadad was relentless in the 93rd minute of the game.
