Spectators: 41 (Terracing: 32, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Chris Nygaard took the kick off in the first half of the match.

Mikkel Wulff scored 0-1 in the 7th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Xilo Aguilo, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-2 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Xilo Aguilo came out of the goal in the 19th minute to try and stop a shot by Denmark's Chris Nygaard.
