Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Tomas Gustavsson took the kick off in the first half of the match. Tomas Gustavsson had several of the France's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 4 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-0 score and a disappointed Maxime Durand as he didn't even see the shot coming. After a rather tough play, France's Alexis Bruneau got a free kick in the 8th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Frank Peletier in the 13th minute of play forced A.C.Mandala's goalkeeper Su Xiang Chuan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. With a little luck, France's Maxime Durand got control of the ball when Igor Maranhense tried to sneak it across the goal line. If Igor Maranhense had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 15th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 29th minute, Frank Peletier managed to get in a good position for a shot. France's supporters rose to their feet, but Frank Peletier was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Su Xiang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Su Xiang Chuan showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Camille Baume in the 32nd minute of the match. In the 34thth minute of the game Tomas Gustavsson who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but France's Maxime Durand was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. In the 39th minute Camille Baume shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Su Xiang Chuan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 42ndth minute of the game Camille Baume who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but A.C.Mandala's Su Xiang Chuan was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. 43 minutes into the match, A.C.Mandala's goal looked a bit too open when Frank Peletier came free, but Su Xiang Chuan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 1-0 at half-time.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Frank Peletier to make the kick off. Mikkel Beck made in the 51st minute of the game a throw-in that took a bad bounce and was taken care of by France's Remy Dupuy. Luisinho Penha kicked well hit freekick during the 55th minute of the match. In the 57th minute Tomas Gustavsson shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Maxime Durand saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 58th minute of the match, Camille Baume tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Su Xiang Chuan saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. In the 60th minute Camille Baume shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Su Xiang Chuan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Tomas Gustavsson fell near the penalty area in the 66th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored A.C.Mandala's protests and gave Tomas Gustavsson a yellow card for diving instead. In the 67th minute, Tomas Gustavsson hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In a very dangerous position, a player in A.C.Mandala fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 73rd minute. Penalty! Maxime Durand took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Dorival Leão, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 83 minutes into the match, A.C.Mandala's goal looked a bit too open when Camille Baume came free, but Su Xiang Chuan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 85 minutes, Johnny Babylon mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the A.C.Mandala and the France players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, A.C.Mandala's Johnny Babylon got a free kick in the 85th minute. Remy Dupuy fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 87th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Su Xiang Chuan having to interfere. Frank Peletier received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 92nd minute. Su Xiang Chuan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Su Xiang Chuan showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Camille Baume, who was totally free with the ball in the 96th minute.
