Spectators: 45 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Antal Valentin took the kick off in the first half of the match. Major Barna took the ball and in the 21 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Paulino Gaspard. Paulino Gaspard dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-2. After some careless play in the Barrialito AFC defense, Major Barna kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Paulino Gaspard. The Barrialito AFC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Paulino Gaspard should have stopped the shot. After 36 minutes, Arturo Montrel mouthed his way into the referee's book.

Paulino Gaspard showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Antal Valentin in the 46th minute of the match. After the first half Hungary were leading 0-5.

In the 52nd minute, Edgardo Inko hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Antal Valentin came up free with the goalie in the 54th minute, the Hungary fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Antal Valentin couldn't finish the play. After 56 minutes of play, Hungary's Hegedus Henrik made it 0-6 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Paulino Gaspard was left in no man's land by his defense there! After a defensive mix-up in Barrialito AFC's zone, Major Barna stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Paulino Gaspard came out of the goal and Major Barna tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 65th minute the ball was on its way in behind Barrialito AFC's goalkeeper Paulino Gaspard, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.

Hungary's supporters crossed their fingers, but Balazs Lajos was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 78 minutes into the match, Barrialito AFC's Nereo Maju sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Fodor Daniel narrowly saved just below the crossbar.
