Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Peter Bayes started the match with the kick off.

After 7 played minutes U21 Portugal got a freekick which was hit by Amadeu Nogueira. An unexpectedly hard shot by Johnny van Persie in the 9th minute of play forced U21 Ireland's goalkeeper Łukasz Polak to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 9 minutes into the match, Johnny van Persie notched a goal, 1-0, to the right of U21 Ireland's Łukasz Polak. Łukasz Polak was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Cristiano Matos kicked well hit freekick during the 11th minute of the match. Miguel Domingues showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bressail McIan, who was totally free with the ball in the 13th minute.

Pedro Viegas recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 31st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 35th minute Bressail McIan shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Miguel Domingues saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. U21 Ireland were awarded a corner in the 36th minute after U21 Portugal's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Peter Bayes took the corner. The corner ended in Peter Bayes almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but U21 Portugal's Miguel Domingues did a great save. With his leg Łukasz Polak managed to avoid a goal in the 39thth minute, when U21 Portugal's Américo Coelho fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Johnny van Persie to make the kick off. 58 minutes into the match, U21 Portugal's goalkeeper Miguel Domingues had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Bressail McIan. Bowen McCollion hit a great freekick 59 minutes into the match. In the 61st match minute, U21 Ireland was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by John Prunty to maneuver through the defense.

U21 Ireland's Brak Crowe was substituted for Bressail McIan. U21 Ireland made a substitution. Blaine McLian replaced Cathal Molloy.
