Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Chris Nygaard started the match with the kick off. S.C. Reis United's João Paulo Urbano played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Chris Nygaard in the 3rd minute of play. In the 8th minute Mikkel Wulff shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but João Paulo Urbano saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 17th minute, Mikkel Wulff left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Denmark fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. 23 minutes into the game, Chris Nygaard cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2. João Paulo Urbano was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Denmark's Simon Bendtsen quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Paulo Renato Trevisan, made in the 28th minute of the game. João Paulo Urbano made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Bertram Svenningsen in the 30th minute of play. João Paulo Urbano didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Chris Nygaard went, in the 31st minute, to the upper right corner, 0-3 was the resulting score. Keld Paulsen took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Rodriguinho Reis, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 37th minute, S.C. Reis United's Eduardo Gaspar dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-3. Paulo Renato Trevisan got a throw-in 41 minutes in the game and the ball was received by Amadeu Negri. The S.C. Reis United players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Denmark were winning 1-3.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Rodriguinho Reis was the one to do the kick off. After 51 minutes, Chris Nygaard mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Denmark and the S.C. Reis United players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 51st minute, Chris Nygaard hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 53 minutes into the match, S.C. Reis United's goal looked a bit too open when Chris Nygaard came free, but João Paulo Urbano reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 54th minute Eduardo Gaspar shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Keld Paulsen saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 57 minutes into the game, Gualter Cardoso threw the ball into play from the sideline. Denmark's Olav Graversen quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. Amadeu Negri sent away a hard shot on goal in the 59th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Kenn Skou kicked well hit freekick during the 72nd minute of the match. Paulo Renato Trevisan got a throw-in 75 minutes in the game and the ball was received by Rodriguinho Reis. If Eduardo Gaspar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 77th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Mikkel Wulff had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 79th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.

Chris Nygaard, 84 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. After a rather tough play, S.C. Reis United's Amadeu Negri got a free kick in the 86th minute. Keld Paulsen took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Rodriguinho Reis, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After having played for 94 minutes, Amadeu Negri managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. S.C. Reis United's supporters crossed their fingers, but Amadeu Negri was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Chris Nygaard scored 1-4 in the 96th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of João Paulo Urbano, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. When the match was over Denmark could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than S.C. Reis United throughout the match.
