Gatwick Stadium
Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Marat Bichevskiy got the match started through his kick off. When Ivan Kamenskiy came up free with the goalie in the 5th minute, the Bloomsbury AFC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Ivan Kamenskiy couldn't finish the play. If Anatoliy Neelov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 17th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a little luck, Bloomsbury AFC's Borislav Shilov got control of the ball when Innokentiy Kaniovskiy tried to sneak it across the goal line. Through an outstanding action, after 21 minutes, Borislav Shilov successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. The audience thought a goal was coming when Innokentiy Kaniovskiy got free with Borislav Shilov in the 22nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Borislav Shilov showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Anatoliy Neelov, who was totally free with the ball in the 24th minute.

After 37th play minutes Anatoliy Neelov shot 2-0, a short shot which went by Borislav Shilov and just under the crossbar into goal. If Ivan Kamenskiy had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Bloomsbury AFC's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Anatoliy Neelov 47 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 4-0. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 4-0 at half-time.

The referee ignored Bloomsbury AFC's protests and gave Oleg Fokin a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Gatwick booed when Bloomsbury AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 65 match minutes in a wonderful position. Oleg Fokin didn't get a good kick on the ball. After having played for 67 minutes, Anatoliy Neelov managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Gatwick's supporters crossed their fingers, but Anatoliy Neelov was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.

Ivan Kamenskiy fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 73rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mikhail Sitnikov having to interfere. After 76 minutes of play Bloomsbury AFC's Oleg Fokin was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. Oleg Fokin hit a great freekick 77 minutes into the match. Gatwick's Irakliy Glushkov couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 77th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Bloomsbury AFC.
