After having played for 3 minutes, Joaquin Ledesma managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Gold Army 1923's supporters crossed their fingers, but Joaquin Ledesma was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 11 minutes into the match, Skull Sport F.C's goal looked a bit too open when Hasan Ali Suel came free, but Reynaldo Astrada reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Reynaldo Astrada stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Hasan Ali Suel's shot from short distance in the 12th minute.

Semail Gökdoğan kicked well hit freekick during the 17th minute of the match. Cui Xiang Zhen's shot straight on target was not completely harmless.

After 34 minutes of play, Gold Army 1923's Bogdan Podwojski made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Cui Xiang Zhen stepped up to make the kick off in the second half.

Gold Army 1923's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Joaquin Ledesma in the 73rd minute. Reynaldo Astrada made an important save on a dangerous shot by Hasan Ali Suel in the 76th minute. After a defensive mix-up in Skull Sport F.C's zone, Hasan Ali Suel stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Reynaldo Astrada came out of the goal and Hasan Ali Suel tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Skull Sport F.C's Reynaldo Astrada played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Hasan Ali Suel in the 78th minute of play. After some careless play in the Gold Army 1923 defense, João Augusto Barral kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Peter Schmeichel. The Gold Army 1923 fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Peter Schmeichel should have stopped the shot. When Skull Sport F.C's Robert Levandowsky, in the 92nd minute, received a pass right in front of the net, it looked like a certain goal, but his shot went outside. A wasted opportunity for Skull Sport F.C. Although Skull Sport F.C had been in control for most of the match, Gold Army 1923 still came away with the win.
