Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) England's Kyle Cox started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. In the 6th minute Kyle Cox shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rafa Nadal saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Caelan Hayes fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 8th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rafa Nadal having to interfere. If Carnero Viergol had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 17th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 20 minutes of play, Dos Soles F.C.'s Valentin Matuta made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Khalid Kennedy was left in no man's land by his defense there! After 24 played minutes England got a freekick which was hit by Leighton Davies. In the 29th minute Valentin Matuta shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Khalid Kennedy saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. With an all-out effort, Dos Soles F.C.'s Khalid Kennedy threw himself towards the right post 33 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Kaapo Stein, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. If Valentin Matuta had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Issac Dawson in the 45th minute of play forced Dos Soles F.C.'s goalkeeper Rafa Nadal to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-0 at half-time.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Valentin Matuta to strike the kick off in the second half. 52 minutes into the match, England's goal looked a bit too open when Valentin Matuta came free, but Khalid Kennedy reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Seth Young hit a great freekick 53 minutes into the match. Dos Soles F.C.'s Carnero Viergol got a good chance for a goal in the 54th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Khalid Kennedy took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Valentin Matuta, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 63 minutes into the match, England's Kyle Cox sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Rafa Nadal narrowly saved just below the crossbar. The supporters of England booed when Dos Soles F.C. was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 64 match minutes in a wonderful position. David Isla didn't get a good kick on the ball. 66 minutes into the match, Dos Soles F.C.'s goal looked a bit too open when Issac Dawson came free, but Rafa Nadal reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Kyle Cox came up free with the goalie in the 67th minute, the England 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 Kyle Cox couldn't finish the play. After 72 minutes of play, England's Kyle Cox made it 2-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

David Isla hit a great freekick 79 minutes into the match. 84 minutes had been played when some careless play by Dos Soles F.C.'s defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Micah Macdonald was slow to take the kick. During this time England's players had a chance to rest. Khalid Kennedy took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Kaapo Stein, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Issac Dawson could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 89th minute of the match, but Rafa Nadal made a huge save. 94 minutes into the match, Micah Macdonald had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Rafa Nadal. Dos Soles F.C.'s manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Micah Macdonald was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-2.
