Spectators: 50 (Terracing: 38, Seating: 11, VIP seats: 1) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Pier Niklaus took the kick off in the first half of the match.

The shot was stopped by Vavrinec Holub but with some difficulty. When Lia Bacon came up free with the goalie in the 27th minute, the TiGrEs Fx fans jumped to their feet.

In the 30th minute, David Rusil hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Denis Dostal took the ball and in the 33 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Serafo Casuso.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Erik Jilek to make the kick off. In the 51st match minute, TiGrEs Fx was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Lia Bacon to maneuver through the defense. After 53 played minutes, Czech Republic's Erik Jilek shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Serafo Casuso came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Czech Republic reached it. After 54 played minutes Czech Republic got a freekick which was hit by David Rusil. When Denis Dostal fell near the penalty area in the 56th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Czech Republic's protests and gave Denis Dostal a yellow card for diving instead. After 58 minutes, Berdoi Surga made it 1-1 with a short kick to the right side. Czech Republic's Vavrinec Holub tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Kvetoslav Janku kicked well hit freekick during the 61st minute of the match.

It was Xanti Gabiña who took care of the corner kick. During the 68th minute of the match Denis Dostal completely mistimed his tackle and brought down his opponent. The referee gave Denis Dostal a yellow card, his second in the match, which meant he could no longer take part in the game.

After a defensive mix-up in TiGrEs Fx's zone, Erik Jilek stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Serafo Casuso came out of the goal and Erik Jilek tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 77 minutes into the match, Pier Niklaus notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of Czech Republic's Vavrinec Holub.

Vavrinec Holub took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Berdoi Surga, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 82 minutes into the match, Czech Republic's goal looked a bit too open when Pier Niklaus came free, but Vavrinec Holub reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
