The crowd rose to their feet as Kristofer Carlton kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Conrad Kitchen. That made the score 1-0 in the 14 minute of play. If Karl Yoder had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience was convinced that Karl Yoder's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Len Denton was relentless in the 20th minute of the game. The long shot by Ron Bliss in the 22nd minute really tested Conrad Kitchen's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. Woodland Hills FC's Karl Yoder got a good chance for a goal in the 27th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Andreas Sheets struck a weak shot in the 32nd minute.

Karl Yoder fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 46th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Len Denton having to interfere. J.P. Berg's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Len Denton read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 48th minute of play.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell J.P. Berg to make the kick off. The audience thought a goal was coming when Karl Yoder got free with Len Denton in the 58th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After 63 minutes, Russ Russ mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the FC Barcelona and the Woodland Hills FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 63rd minute, Russ Russ hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When J.P. Berg came up free with the goalie in the 68th minute, the Woodland Hills FC 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 J.P. Berg couldn't finish the play. Karl Yoder sent away a hard shot on goal in the 73rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kristofer Carlton in the 75th minute of play forced Woodland Hills FC's goalkeeper Conrad Kitchen to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Woodland Hills FC's J.P. Berg in the 82nd minute got a chance for a shot 82nd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye FC Barcelona's goalie prevented a goal. If Karl Yoder had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 86th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Marvin MacFarland's late challenge caught a FC Barcelona's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Marvin MacFarland helped the player get up and apologised. Len Denton took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from J.P. Berg, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Woodland Hills FC's supporters were dissatisfied at the end of the match because FC Barcelona had won, even though Woodland Hills FC had held more of the ball.
