Spectators: 6701 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1701, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Jamel Brownell kicked off to start the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 3rd minute, Quentin Hensley managed to get in a good position for a shot. Lima's supporters rose to their feet, but Quentin Hensley was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Orlando Pickett breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Quentin Hensley had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. The audience was convinced that Jamel Brownell's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Orlando Pickett was relentless in the 13th minute of the game. In the 17th minute the ball was on its way in behind Valdese's goalkeeper Orlando Pickett, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.

Valdese's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Jamel Brownell 28 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 1-0.

Quentin Hensleys short, quick shot in the 45thth minute got Orlando Pickett to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. In the 47thth minute of the game Steven Hearn who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Lima's Rickey Robles was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 1-0 at half-time.

If Quentin Hensley had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 95 minutes of play, Lima's Jamel Brownell made it 3-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Orlando Pickett was left in no man's land by his defense there! 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. Lima fully deserved thier win.
