Spectators: 50 (Terracing: 38, Seating: 11, VIP seats: 1) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Henrik Larsson made the kick off which started today's match. After 5 minutes Decathlon Dudes's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Bai Jun Chong who took care of the corner kick. The corner led to Szombathely Squirrels's Michel Goiano getting away a dangerous shot that went just outside the goal. 16 minutes had been played when some careless play by Szombathely Squirrels's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner.

Henrik Larsson fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 22nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Arnold Szuper having to interfere. Tadej Pogačar made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Tivadar Demeter in the 24th minute of play. In the 27th minute Tivadar Demeter shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tadej Pogačar saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Arnold Szuper was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Henrik Larsson showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-1 in the 29 minute of play. Decathlon Dudes's Tadej Pogačar played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tivadar Demeter in the 32nd minute of play.

Bai Jun Chong kicked well hit freekick during the 38th minute of the match. 43 minutes into the match, Szombathely Squirrels's goal looked a bit too open when Henrik Larsson came free, but Arnold Szuper reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
