Spectators: 45 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Zac O'Donnell kicked off to start the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Tymoteusz Zbikowski in the 3rd minute of play forced Scotland's goalkeeper Alexander Higgins to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 8 minutes, Kayden Ward mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Scotland and the Żuberia United players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of Żuberia United booed when Scotland was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 8 match minutes in a wonderful position. Kayden Ward didn't get a good kick on the ball. Alexander Higgins showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Igor Chlapowski in the 11th minute of the match.

Alexander Higgins made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-3. After 28 played minutes Scotland got a freekick which was hit by Kayden Ward.

After some fancy dribbling in the 44th minute, Tymoteusz Zbikowski managed to get in a good position for a shot.

But to his dismay, Igor Chlapowski quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-6. 60 minutes into the match, Scotland's goal looked a bit too open when Igor Chlapowski came free, but Alexander Higgins reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
