Spectators: 5900 (Terracing: 4500, Seating: 1300, VIP seats: 100) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Gerardo Green kicked off to start the match. When Arnoldo Tolbert fell near the penalty area in the 11th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick.

Arnoldo Tolbert hit a great ball. In the 17th minute, ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ's Pierre Webber seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Pierre Webber the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Pierre Webber had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. 16 minutes into the game, one of ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ:s Marco Carmona showed great skill when he stopped Bennett Squires:s penalty. An unexpectedly hard shot by Gerardo Green in the 22nd minute of play forced ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ's goalkeeper Marco Carmona to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
