Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Jurij Štencl kicked off to start the match. After 2 minutes, Radek Rokos mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the AFC Cherries and the Hungary players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 5th minute Major Barna shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Filip Kubala saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Jurij Štencl sent away a hard shot on goal in the 6th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 8 minutes into the match, AFC Cherries's goal looked a bit too open when Antal Valentin came free, but Filip Kubala reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Through an outstanding action, after 10 minutes, Fodor Daniel successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. An unexpectedly hard shot by Antal Valentin in the 14th minute of play forced AFC Cherries's goalkeeper Filip Kubala to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Luciano Cuenca's late challenge caught a Hungary's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Luciano Cuenca helped the player get up and apologised. In the 21st minute, Luciano Cuenca hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a rather tough play, Hungary's Vörös Henrik got a free kick in the 22nd minute. If Jurij Štencl had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Hungary's Fodor Daniel played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Jurij Štencl in the 28th minute of play. Fodor Daniel showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Luciano Cuenca, who was totally free with the ball in the 31st minute. 44 minutes into the game, Antal Valentin was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Hungary's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave AFC Cherries the free kick. The supporters of AFC Cherries booed when Hungary was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 44 match minutes in a wonderful position. Antal Valentin didn't get a good kick on the ball.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Antal Valentin stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. An unexpectedly hard shot by Antal Valentin in the 52nd minute of play forced AFC Cherries's goalkeeper Filip Kubala to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

AFC Cherries were awarded a corner in the 58th minute after Hungary's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Luciano Cuenca took the corner. After some careless play in the Hungary defense, Jurij Štencl kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Fodor Daniel. The Hungary fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Fodor Daniel should have stopped the shot. Jurij Štencl blasted a shot towards the goal in the 64th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Fodor Daniel having to make a save. Jurij Štencl might have been able to make a better finish in the 65th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Fodor Daniel. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Jurij Štencl ran back to his position shaking his head. After a rather tough play, AFC Cherries's Radek Rokos got a free kick in the 67th minute. AFC Cherries's Filip Kubala proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 68th minute of the match, managed to save AFC Cherries from getting a goal against them. In the 70th minute, Antal Valentin fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. After having played for 73 minutes, Major Barna managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Hungary's supporters crossed their fingers, but Major Barna was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 75 minutes into the game, one of Hungary:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. Hungary:s Fodor Daniel showed great skill when he stopped Luciano Cuenca:s penalty. When Balazs Lajos fell near the penalty area in the 83rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Hungary's protests and gave Balazs Lajos a yellow card for diving instead. AFC Cherries's Vít Ambros was substituted for Christian Backman. Luciano Cuenca made a great header on AFC Cherries's corner, it was just that Hungary's Fodor Daniel managed to reach the ball for a save. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The AFC Cherries fans cheered their team off the field, for while Hungary had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
