Spectators: 7682 (Terracing: 5762, Seating: 1767, VIP seats: 153) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Sammy Rodriquez took the kick off in the first half of the match. If Gerardo Moss had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 7 minutes, Romeo Nunn managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. RED Mountain Resort's supporters crossed their fingers, but Romeo Nunn was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a rather tough play, Thrives FC's Murray Purvis got a free kick in the 8th minute. 9 minutes into the match, Thrives FC's goal looked a bit too open when Romeo Nunn came free, but Santiago Kelley reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Gerardo Moss struck a weak shot in the 10th minute. Santiago Kelley didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for RED Mountain Resort. Murray Purvis got his second yellow card in the match during the 19th minute which meant that he had to leave the ground. Warren Hopper, 20 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Sammy Rodriquez hit a great freekick 23 minutes into the match. RED Mountain Resort's Gerardo Moss got a good chance for a goal in the 27th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Romeo Nunn in the 32nd minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Santiago Kelley prevented the ball from getting in the gole. 46 minutes into the match, Lloyd Steiner notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of RED Mountain Resort's Robbie Aquino. Robbie Aquino was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 2-1 at half-time.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Romeo Nunn made a kick off. After a rather tough play, RED Mountain Resort's Gerardo Moss got a free kick in the 56th minute. Lloyd Steiner received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 66th minute. Robbie Aquino tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 68th minute, RED Mountain Resort's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Lloyd Steiner fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. When Romeo Nunn came up free with the goalie in the 70th minute, the RED Mountain Resort 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 Romeo Nunn couldn't finish the play. 79 minutes into the match, Thrives FC's goal looked a bit too open when Romeo Nunn came free, but Santiago Kelley reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 81stth minute of the game Gerardo Moss who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Thrives FC's Santiago Kelley was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Santiago Kelley didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Gerardo Moss went, in the 84th minute, to the upper right corner, 4-1 was the resulting score. Romeo Nunn sent away a hard shot on goal in the 88th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 90th minute Romeo Nunn shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Santiago Kelley saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Romeo Nunn recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 95th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. For all the effort they put into the match, the Thrives FC players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for RED Mountain Resort.
