Spectators: 7671 (Terracing: 5818, Seating: 1783, VIP seats: 70) The supporters of Harmony booed when Chispita FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 3 match minutes in a wonderful position. Nathanial Cano didn't get a good kick on the ball. The audience was convinced that C.J. Herrera's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Trey Grove was relentless in the 5th minute of the game. If Mike Granger had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After 8 minutes of play, Harmony's Mike Granger made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Herrera fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Trey Grove, passed just outside the right post.
