A collision led to Jersey St Aubin getting a freekick after 10 minutes play. Guillermo Noyola hit a great ball. Félix Rivera sent away a hard shot on goal in the 12th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 20th match minute, Jersey St Aubin was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by David Melendez to maneuver through the defense. Alvaro Vasquez tried in the game's 21st match minute to clear up in front of his own goal but it went so bad that he put the ball into the goal to the left of an unhappy Alvaro Pimentel. An annoying self made goal, 2-0. Alveley's Emiliano Zapata played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Will Fernandez in the 28th minute of play. If Félix Rivera had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 33rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Guillermo Noyola kicked well hit freekick during the 39th minute of the match. Alvaro Pimentel made a fantastic save in the 47th minute, when Richard Pimentel sent off a good shot on target.

After a rather tough play, Alveley's Mario Moreno got a free kick in the 57th minute. Will Fernandez sent away a hard shot on goal in the 60th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

In the 72nd minute, Richard Pimentel ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Alvaro Pimentel was frozen by the shot and now it was 4-1. Emiliano Zapata took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Will Fernandez, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 78th match minute, Alveley was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Richard Arango to maneuver through the defense. Will Fernandez recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 79th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. With a little luck, Alveley's Emiliano Zapata got control of the ball when Will Fernandez tried to sneak it across the goal line. 84 minutes into the game, Richard Arango was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Alveley's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Jersey St Aubin the free kick. In the 85th minute, Francisco Rivas sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Alveley's Emiliano Zapata didn't even have to move. Alvaro Pimentel didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Félix Rivera went, in the 91st minute, to the upper right corner, 5-1 was the resulting score. When Lorenzo Ramirez came up free with the goalie in the 96th minute, the Jersey St Aubin 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 Lorenzo Ramirez couldn't finish the play. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Alveley fans cheered their team off the field, for while Jersey St Aubin had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
