It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Stanislav Benkovský kicked off to start the match. After a rather tough play, U21 Scotland's Rod Fairbairn got a free kick in the 4th minute. U21 Slovakia's Tibor Slaninka proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 9th minute of the match, managed to save U21 Slovakia from getting a goal against them. After taking down the ball on U21 Scotland's corner Jake Brebner fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Tibor Slaninka quite easily take care of the ball. In the 14th match minute, U21 Slovakia was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Juraj Kyjanský to maneuver through the defense. 17 minutes into the game, Jake Brebner threw the ball into play from the sideline. U21 Slovakia's Viktor Čambor quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. After 19 played minutes, U21 Slovakia's Lubáš Štefánik shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Steven Airth came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in U21 Slovakia reached it. Stanislav Benkovský recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 20th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Gavin McUre sent away a hard shot on goal in the 21st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Alisdair Esson's late challenge caught a U21 Slovakia's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Alisdair Esson helped the player get up and apologised. 25 minutes into the game, Stanislav Benkovský cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Steven Airth was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. In the 34thth minute of the game Stanislav Benkovský who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but U21 Scotland's Steven Airth was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. In the 37th minute, Lukáš Repa 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. Tibor Slaninka came out of the goal in the 39th minute to try and stop a shot by U21 Scotland's Ronan Robertson. But to his dismay, Ronan Robertson quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. Ronan Robertson fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 42nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Tibor Slaninka having to interfere. The supporters of U21 Scotland booed when U21 Slovakia was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 44 match minutes in a wonderful position. Richard Bačík didn't get a good kick on the ball. A collision led to U21 Scotland getting a freekick after 47 minutes play. Brian Combie hit a great ball. U21 Scotland's Danny McEachin was substituted for Ronan Robertson. U21 Slovakia made a substitution. Miroslav Palovčík replaced Stanislav Benkovský. In the 48th match minute, U21 Scotland was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Brian Combie to maneuver through the defense. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Gavin McUre to make the kick off. U21 Slovakia's Tibor Slaninka played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rod Fairbairn in the 54th minute of play. In the 56th minute U21 Scotland were awarded a corner. Jake Brebner went to the cornerflag to take it. A collision led to U21 Scotland getting a freekick after 57 minutes play. Alisdair Esson hit a great ball. In the 60thth minute of the game Gavin McUre who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but U21 Slovakia's Tibor Slaninka was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Steven Airth took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Miroslav Palovčík, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 63 minutes into the game, Jake Brebner was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. U21 Scotland's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave U21 Slovakia the free kick. Jake Brebner hit a great freekick 65 minutes into the match. Rod Fairbairn sent away a hard shot on goal in the 68th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After some fancy dribbling in the 71st minute, Brian Combie managed to get in a good position for a shot. U21 Scotland's supporters rose to their feet, but Brian Combie was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Tibor Slaninka breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Tibor Slaninka made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Gavin McUre in the 81st minute of play. Miroslav Palovčík received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 82nd minute. Steven Airth tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 85th minute Gavin McUre shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tibor Slaninka saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 85 minutes into the match, Gavin McUre had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Tibor Slaninka. U21 Slovakia's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Gavin McUre was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. Steven Airth stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Miroslav Palovčík's shot from short distance in the 89th minute. Gavin McUre's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Tibor Slaninka read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 90th minute of play. In the 91st minute, Viktor Čambor hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 92nd match minute, U21 Scotland was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Rod Fairbairn to maneuver through the defense. 94 minutes into the match, Gavin McUre had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Tibor Slaninka. U21 Slovakia's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Gavin McUre was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-1. 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. U21 Scotland fully deserved thier win.
