Spectators: 8100 (Terracing: 6000, Seating: 1950, VIP seats: 150) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Behrang Forouzan took the kick off in the first half of the match. After a defensive mix-up in Lytham's zone, Mani Parsivand stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Sina Sanei came out of the goal and Mani Parsivand tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 16 minutes into the game, Lytham's Jamshid Parsivand nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Ashkan Rahnama made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. Behrang Forouzan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 20th minute. Sina Sanei tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The audience was convinced that Behrang Forouzan's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Sina Sanei was relentless in the 25th minute of the game. Mani Parsivand fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 27th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Sina Sanei having to interfere. Sadra Farhadi's late challenge caught a Tufnell Park's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

Jamshid Parsivand received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 35th minute. Ashkan Rahnama tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 37th minute Jamshid Parsivand shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ashkan Rahnama saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 38th minute, Jamshid Parsivand managed to get in a good position for a shot. Lytham's supporters rose to their feet, but Jamshid Parsivand was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ashkan Rahnama breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Mohammad Rezazadeh had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Mahbod Baghaei Naeeni was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 44th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. 46 minutes into the match, Tufnell Park's goal looked a bit too open when Jamshid Parsivand came free, but Ashkan Rahnama reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

After 75 minutes of play, Tufnell Park's Behrang Forouzan made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Sadra Farhadi didn't get a good kick on the ball. Tufnell Park's Hooshang Rostampour couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 80th minute.

Mohsen Mazloumi took the ball and in the 96 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Sina Sanei. Sina Sanei dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-1.
