Donnell Mendoza charged in rather forcefully in the 13th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Donnell Mendoza the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Donnell Mendoza hit a great freekick 13 minutes into the match. A hard shot by Ambroise Brunelle from long distance, 14 minutes into the match, got Renard Villarreal's attention.

After a defensive mix-up in Beardmore FC's zone, Raymundo Nunn stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Saul Mathis came out of the goal and Raymundo Nunn tried to chip the ball over his head.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Ellis Crandall couldn't finish the play.
