Serafin Odol made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Carolo Bidari in the 13th minute of play. If Placido Baladi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 21 minutes into the match, Venancio Venceslao notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of WINNING ELEVEN 2017's Nicasio Gabrio. Nicasio Gabrio was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it.

With a little luck, Komatzu AC's Serafin Odol got control of the ball when Placido Baladi tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 30th minute WINNING ELEVEN 2017 were awarded a corner. Carolo Bidari went to the cornerflag to take it. After taking down the ball on WINNING ELEVEN 2017's corner Carolo Bidari fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Serafin Odol quite easily take care of the ball. A collision led to Komatzu AC getting a freekick after 36 minutes play. Leon Azevedo hit a great ball. Emilio Beremundo's shot from long distance in the 40th minute was not bad at all, but Komatzu AC's Serafin Odol knew what was happening and pushed the ball into his arms just before it hit the right post. An unexpectedly hard shot by Placido Baladi in the 48th minute of play forced Komatzu AC's goalkeeper Serafin Odol to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Placido Baladi to make the kick off. WINNING ELEVEN 2017's Nicasio Gabrio played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Venancio Venceslao in the 53rd minute of play.

In the 57th minute, Leon Azevedo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Felipe Balesio kicked well hit freekick during the 65th minute of the match. 77 minutes into the game, Leon Azevedo was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.

Serafin Odol showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ismael Bartolome, who was totally free with the ball in the 84th minute.

After a rather tough play, Komatzu AC's Taco Rademaker got a free kick in the 90th minute. After having played for 97 minutes, Placido Baladi managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. WINNING ELEVEN 2017's supporters crossed their fingers, but Placido Baladi was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The WINNING ELEVEN 2017 fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Komatzu AC were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
