Spectators: 7787 (Terracing: 5841, Seating: 1791, VIP seats: 155) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Lucas Beebe started the match with the kick off. After 4 minutes of play, Texas Cavaliers's Antoine Chamberlain made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Rolando Busch was left in no man's land by his defense there! Cockeysville were furious when German Stiles was red carded, 8 minutes into the game, but the referee dismissed their protests. In a very dangerous position, a player in Cockeysville fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 7th minute. Penalty!

The throw-in from Johnathon Duvall in the 15th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Cockeysville's Zack Padgett.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Zack Padgett to make the kick off. Dustin Watts blasted a shot towards the goal in the 52nd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Denver Baird having to make a save. If Zack Padgett had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Zachery Morgan recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 68th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After a defensive mix-up in Texas Cavaliers's zone, Zack Padgett stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Denver Baird came out of the goal and Zack Padgett tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Rolando Busch stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Antoine Chamberlain's shot from short distance in the 85th minute. After 89 minutes, Zachery Morgan mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Cockeysville and the Texas Cavaliers players grew even worse after the yellow card. Willie Beam scored 7-0 in the 91st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Rolando Busch, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 96 minutes into the match, Cockeysville's goal looked a bit too open when Johnathon Duvall came free, but Rolando Busch reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When the referee blew the final whistle, Texas Cavaliers could leave the field as winners, despite Cockeysville having more of the ball for most of the match.
