After a rather tough play, Energia Fc's Glen Keane got a free kick in the 7th minute. After 9 played minutes Energia Fc got a freekick which was hit by Roosevelt Park. Pedro Vigil recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 14th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 16th minute, Florian Baldwin hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 18 played minutes Silas Roche rounded AJAX's defense and shot a beautiful shot into goal via left pole - 1-0. Glen Keane kicked well hit freekick during the 22nd minute of the match. When Julio Coulter came up free with the goalie in the 23rd minute, the AJAX 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 Julio Coulter couldn't finish the play. Cobi Hyde took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Eddy Darby, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 35th minute, Energia Fc's Micah Faulkner seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Micah Faulkner the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Energia Fc protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Micah Faulkner had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 34th minute of the game. One of Energia Fc:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of AJAX:s goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 40th minute, Shelby Spicer managed to get in a good position for a shot. Energia Fc's supporters rose to their feet, but Shelby Spicer was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Charles Samuel breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Glen Keane sent away a hard shot on goal in the 42nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 1-0.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Eddy Darby to make the kick off. Pedro Vigil blasted a shot towards the goal in the 53rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Charles Samuel having to make a save. After a defensive mix-up in AJAX's zone, Glen Keane stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Charles Samuel came out of the goal and Glen Keane tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 58 played minutes AJAX got a freekick which was hit by Florian Baldwin. In the 60th minute Pedro Vigil shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Charles Samuel saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 61 minutes into the game, Glen Keane cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-0. Charles Samuel was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. AJAX's Charles Samuel played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Pedro Vigil in the 67th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Energia Fc's Bob Cornelius got a free kick in the 70th minute. 74 minutes had been played when some careless play by Energia Fc's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Alfredo Thurston was slow to take the kick. During this time AJAX's players had a chance to rest. Louie Irvin hit a great freekick 77 minutes into the match. Cobi Hyde made a fantastic save in the 85th minute, when Julio Coulter sent off a good shot on target. In the 92nd minute, Bart Tharp got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. If Julio Coulter had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 98th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Energia Fc fully deserved thier win.
