After a rather tough play, GD Almargense's Ricardo Cabral got a free kick in the 4th minute. After 12 played minutes GD Almargense got a freekick which was hit by Jorge Macedo. After some fancy dribbling in the 13th minute, Major Barna managed to get in a good position for a shot. Hungary's supporters rose to their feet, but Major Barna was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. James Beadle breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Hegedus Henrik hit a great freekick 16 minutes into the match. Major Barna sent away a hard shot on goal in the 23rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 25th minute, Antal Valentin left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Hungary fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-2. If Major Barna had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a little luck, Hungary's Fodor Daniel got control of the ball when Ricardo Pepi tried to sneak it across the goal line. After the first half Hungary were leading 0-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Antal Valentin made a kick off. Major Barna fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 61st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without James Beadle having to interfere. A collision led to GD Almargense getting a freekick after 64 minutes play. Nicolau Esparteiro hit a great ball. 67 minutes into the game, Rogério Campos was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. GD Almargense's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Hungary the free kick. In the 69th minute, Major Barna got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 73rd minute of the match, Antal Valentin got a very nice opportunity to score, but James Beadle was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. James Beadle didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Takacs Tibor went, in the 80th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-3 was the resulting score. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ricardo Pepi in the 92nd minute of play forced Hungary's goalkeeper Fodor Daniel to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. GD Almargense's James Beadle proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 93rd minute of the match, managed to save GD Almargense from getting a goal against them. The GD Almargense fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Hungary were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
