Mundiwindi's Matthias Wilde played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Neil Holdsworth in the 14th minute of play. In a very dangerous position, a player in C B Bulldogs fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 15th minute. Penalty! After a rather tough play, C B Bulldogs's Lorimer Loch got a free kick in the 22nd minute. Bryson Fordham fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 26th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Potter Millard having to interfere. After 30 played minutes, C B Bulldogs's Raleigh Bundy shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Matthias Wilde came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in C B Bulldogs reached it. In the 32nd minute the ball was on its way in behind Mundiwindi's goalkeeper Matthias Wilde, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 37 minutes into the match, Paco Shortus dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Potter Millard, 2-0. Cristian Artizar fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 42nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Matthias Wilde having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Edison Weatherby in the 46th minute of play forced C B Bulldogs's goalkeeper Potter Millard to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The supporters of C B Bulldogs booed when Mundiwindi was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 47 match minutes in a wonderful position. Bernard Berresford didn't get a good kick on the ball. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-0 at half-time.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Edison Weatherby made a kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Paco Shortus in the 53rd minute of play forced C B Bulldogs's goalkeeper Potter Millard to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 59th minute Loud Ross shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Matthias Wilde saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some careless play in the Mundiwindi defense, Loud Ross kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Matthias Wilde. The Mundiwindi fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Matthias Wilde should have stopped the shot. The nice shot from Neil Holdsworth in the 66thth minute just in front of the goal should have ended in point on the board, but Matthias Wilde had a great feel for the game and superbly saved the ball from getting in by the left post. 79 minutes into the match, Mundiwindi's goal looked a bit too open when Neil Holdsworth came free, but Matthias Wilde reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Edison Weatherby sent away a hard shot on goal in the 91st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 92 minutes into the game, Lorimer Loch was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. C B Bulldogs's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Mundiwindi the free kick. Lorimer Loch kicked well hit freekick during the 92nd minute of the match. Bernard Berresford was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 93rd played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Bryson Fordham struck a weak shot in the 97th minute. Potter Millard didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Mundiwindi.
