After having played for 46 minutes, Robert Levandowsky managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Cui Xiang Zhen couldn't finish the play. 57 minutes into the match, Mandrake fc's goal looked a bit too open when Cui Xiang Zhen came free, but Silvestre Mayol reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 79th minute the ball was on its way in behind Skull Sport F.C's goalkeeper Reynaldo Astrada, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.

In the 93rd minute, Mandrake fc's Guo Xiong Ning seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Guo Xiong Ning the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Mandrake fc protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Guo Xiong Ning had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. Guo Xiong Ning hit a great freekick 94 minutes into the match. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Skull Sport F.C fully deserved thier win.
