Spectators: 41 (Terracing: 32, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Apolo Millan took the kick off in the first half of the match. Vavrinec Holub made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Apolo Millan in the 9th minute of play. Vavrinec Holub made an important save on a dangerous shot by Tadeo Ignado in the 14th minute. In the 18th match minute, Malvinas Argentinas F.C. was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Justino Fliz to maneuver through the defense. Malvinas Argentinas F.C.'s Victorino Ticho pulled a muscle in his back after 27 minutes and couldn't finish the game. Alan Rezek's late challenge caught a Malvinas Argentinas F.C.'s player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Alan Rezek helped the player get up and apologised. Malvinas Argentinas F.C. made a substitution. Celso Rosio replaced Victorino Ticho. With a little luck, Czech Republic's Vavrinec Holub got control of the ball when Tadeo Ignado tried to sneak it across the goal line. Dante Jacindo blasted a shot towards the goal in the 35th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Vavrinec Holub having to make a save. Vavrinec Holub took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Apolo Millan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Erik Jilek to make the kick off. Bohumir Kohout hit a great freekick 52 minutes into the match. If Apolo Millan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Apolo Millan in the 57th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Vavrinec Holub prevented the ball from getting in the gole. The audience was convinced that Apolo Millan's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Vavrinec Holub was relentless in the 60th minute of the game. A collision led to Czech Republic getting a freekick after 60 minutes play. Bohumir Kohout hit a great ball. 61 minutes into the game, Malvinas Argentinas F.C.'s Tadeo Ignado nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Vavrinec Holub made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 3-0. After 64 minutes of play, Malvinas Argentinas F.C.'s Tadeo Ignado made it 4-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Vavrinec Holub was left in no man's land by his defense there! Aurelio Mateus fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 67th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Vavrinec Holub having to interfere. When the match had gone on for 69 minutes, Apolo Millan put it in 5-0 from a short distance just to the right of Vavrinec Holub. 71 minutes into the match, Tadeo Ignado had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Vavrinec Holub. Czech Republic's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Tadeo Ignado was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 6-0. After 75 played minutes Czech Republic got a freekick which was hit by Kvetoslav Janku. 76 minutes into the game, Apolo Millan cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 7-0. Vavrinec Holub was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Vavrinec Holub showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Aurelio Mateus, who was totally free with the ball in the 80th minute. After some careless play in the Czech Republic defense, Apolo Millan kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Vavrinec Holub. The Czech Republic fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Vavrinec Holub should have stopped the shot. Vavrinec Holub showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Tadeo Ignado in the 84th minute of the match. Tadeo Ignado took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 86th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Vavrinec Holub. Czech Republic's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. 89 minutes into the match, Czech Republic's goal looked a bit too open when Apolo Millan came free, but Vavrinec Holub reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Apolo Millan scored 9-0 in the 95th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Vavrinec Holub, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Malvinas Argentinas F.C. fully deserved thier win.
