Thiago Silva kicked well hit freekick during the 4th minute of the match. Roberto Eztebe took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Joaquin Austin, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Paşa Ergener came up free with the goalie in the 15th minute, the Atletic Elooo fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Paşa Ergener couldn't finish the play. After a rather tough play, Atletic Elooo's Bernardino Abadie got a free kick in the 18th minute. If Joaquin Austin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 25 minutes into the match, AFC FUSION's goal looked a bit too open when Emmanuel Anieva came free, but Roberto Eztebe reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 34 minutes into the match, Aureliano Karlo had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Clemente Mancaş. Atletic Elooo's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Aureliano Karlo was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Clemente Mancaş took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Romulo Abilio, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Joaquin Austin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 42nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After the first half AFC FUSION were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Romulo Abilio in the 51st minute of play forced Atletic Elooo's goalkeeper Clemente Mancaş to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Roberto Eztebe showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Joaquin Austin, who was totally free with the ball in the 58th minute.

After 74 played minutes AFC FUSION got a freekick which was hit by Mario Sesuldo. Atletic Elooo's Grégory Gardette was substituted for Joaquin Austin. In the 76th minute the ball was on its way in behind AFC FUSION's goalkeeper Roberto Eztebe, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. If Grégory Gardette had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 80th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 80th minute Grégory Gardette shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Roberto Eztebe saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Aureliano Karlo got free with Clemente Mancaş in the 82nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Atletic Elooo's Ruperto Javiar quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Germano Bettencourt, made in the 84th minute of the game. After 91 minutes AFC FUSION's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Donato Tolino who took care of the corner kick. The corner led Atletic Elooo's Donato Tolino to fire away a dangerous shot which Roberto Eztebe despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. AFC FUSION's fans were overjoyed with their teams well-earned victory and stayed in the stadium long after the final whistle to celebrate the win.
