Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Robertinho Lewandowski kicked off to start the match. If Robertinho Lewandowski had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 6th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Mikkel Wulff fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 8th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Amado Manilan having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 10th minute, Chris Nygaard managed to get in a good position for a shot. Denmark's supporters rose to their feet, but Chris Nygaard was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Amado Manilan breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 14th minute of the match Rodeo FC got a corner. Denmark's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Robertinho Lewandowski ran over to the corner to take the kick. 15 minutes into the match, Denmark's goal looked a bit too open when Loris Guerreiro came free, but Keld Paulsen reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 18 minutes into the match, Robertinho Lewandowski notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Denmark's Keld Paulsen. Keld Paulsen was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. When the match had gone on for 24 minutes, Chris Nygaard put it in 1-1 from a short distance just to the right of Amado Manilan. Bertram Svenningsen fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 30th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Amado Manilan having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Chris Nygaard in the 34th minute of play forced Rodeo FC's goalkeeper Amado Manilan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Serafino Otsoko kicked well hit freekick during the 34th minute of the match. After a rather tough play, Rodeo FC's Serafino Otsoko got a free kick in the 35th minute. 36 minutes into the match, Denmark's Chris Nygaard broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. Denmark's Keld Paulsen played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Justino Eate in the 38th minute of play. After 41 played minutes Rodeo FC got a freekick which was hit by Rodolfo Salomon. Chris Nygaard had several of the Rodeo FC's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 47 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 2-1 score and a disappointed Amado Manilan as he didn't even see the shot coming. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 2-1.

The wind increased when Chris Nygaard made the kick off in the second half. Keld Paulsen stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Robertinho Lewandowski's shot from short distance in the 55th minute. When the match had gone on for 55 minutes, Robertinho Lewandowski put it in 2-2 from a short distance just to the right of Keld Paulsen. When the match clock showed 59 minutes, the score became 3-2 when Chris Nygaard sped through Rodeo FC's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Amado Manilan. The supporters of Rodeo FC booed when Denmark was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 61 match minutes in a wonderful position. Bjarne Kirkegaard didn't get a good kick on the ball. Dino Trancoso made in the 69th minute of the game a fairly good throw-in which was taken care of by Justino Eate. Amado Manilan took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Chris Nygaard, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 80th minute, Robertinho Lewandowski reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Keld Paulsen. The goal made the score 3-3. Keld Paulsen showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Robertinho Lewandowski, who was totally free with the ball in the 84th minute. The audience was convinced that Chris Nygaard's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Amado Manilan was relentless in the 86th minute of the game. Keld Paulsen showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Robertinho Lewandowski in the 92nd minute of the match.
