Spectators: 5001 (Terracing: 4001, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Rodger Reeder made the kick off which started today's match. In the 4th minute of the match Clint Hancock shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Sam Masters showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. In the 5th minute the ball was on its way in behind Sanatoga FC's goalkeeper Sam Masters, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Rob Albrecht might have been able to make a better finish in the 6th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Sam Masters. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Rob Albrecht ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 17th minute Rob Albrecht shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sam Masters saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Charles Rhodes hit a great freekick 18 minutes into the match. The audience was convinced that Rob Albrecht's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Sam Masters was relentless in the 22nd minute of the game. Michael McGinnis recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 25th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Rodger Reeder fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 30th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Kareem Hurst having to interfere. 34 minutes into the match, Alfred Loomis notched a goal, 1-0, to the right of Sanatoga FC's Sam Masters. Sam Masters was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 37th minute, Alfred Loomis 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. After 40 minutes of play, Impossible AFC's Alfred Loomis made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Sam Masters was left in no man's land by his defense there!

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Rob Albrecht was the one to do the kick off. If Rob Albrecht had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 52nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Rob Albrecht received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 57th minute. Sam Masters tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 3-0 became the score in the 62nd minute when Rob Albrecht elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. When Stuart West fell near the penalty area in the 65th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Impossible AFC's protests and gave Stuart West a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Sanatoga FC booed when Impossible AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 65 match minutes in a wonderful position. Stuart West didn't get a good kick on the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Alfred Loomis in the 73rd minute of play forced Sanatoga FC's goalkeeper Sam Masters to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 76 minutes into the match, Sanatoga FC's goal looked a bit too open when Rob Albrecht came free, but Sam Masters reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 77th minute, Gregg Ciauri hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The long shot by Albert Dennison in the 78th minute really tested Kareem Hurst'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. A collision led to Impossible AFC getting a freekick after 79 minutes play. Hunter Vargas hit a great ball. In the 84th minute, Rob Albrecht ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Sam Masters was frozen by the shot and now it was 4-0. 88 minutes into the game, Rob Albrecht cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 5-0. Sam Masters was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. When Impossible AFC's Alfred Loomis in the 96th minute got a chance for a shot 96th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Sanatoga FC's goalie prevented a goal. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Impossible AFC had played much better football throughout.
