Spectators: 7444 (Terracing: 5584, Seating: 1712, VIP seats: 148) Astor Shepherd made the kick off and thus started the match. In the 4th minute, Joshua Ziss hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Rozen Lipsky came out of the goal in the 5th minute to try and stop a shot by Villa Mitre's Astor Shepherd. But to his dismay, Astor Shepherd quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. An unexpectedly hard shot by Astor Shepherd in the 8th minute of play forced G.R.'s goalkeeper Rozen Lipsky to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Epifanio Kelemen struck a weak shot in the 17th minute. Rozen Lipsky didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Villa Mitre. After 18 minutes, Joshua Ziss mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the G.R. and the Villa Mitre players grew even worse after the yellow card. Joshua Ziss kicked well hit freekick during the 18th minute of the match. After 19 played minutes, Villa Mitre's Epifanio Kelemen shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Rozen Lipsky came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Villa Mitre reached it. 20 minutes into the match, Epifanio Kelemen had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Rozen Lipsky. G.R.'s manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Epifanio Kelemen was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. Roman Montez showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Jedaiah Elishvili, who was totally free with the ball in the 28th minute. In the 30th minute, G.R.'s Toren Potterman dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-2. Roman Montez took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Jedaiah Elishvili, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 34 minutes into the game, G.R.'s Toren Potterman nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Roman Montez made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-2. After 41 played minutes G.R. got a freekick which was hit by Joshua Ziss. Epifanio Kelemen was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 45th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal.

G.R. made a substitution. Jankel Veneziani replaced Joshua Ziss. The wind increased when Toren Potterman made the kick off in the second half. Roman Montez showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Toren Potterman in the 55th minute of the match. Villa Mitre's Roman Montez played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Akiba Gilardi in the 60th minute of play. After a rather tough play, G.R.'s Akiba Gilardi got a free kick in the 62nd minute. Astor Shepherd received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Rozen Lipsky came out and tried to block the shot, but Astor Shepherd slotted it home off the left post making it 2-3 in the 63rd minute. Villa Mitre's Epifanio Kelemen was standing unmarked in front of the goal when he, in the 69th play minute, got the ball and easily drilled it into the goal. After some careless play in the Villa Mitre defense, Toren Potterman kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Roman Montez. The Villa Mitre fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Roman Montez should have stopped the shot. When Jankel Veneziani came up free with the goalie in the 80th minute, the G.R. 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 Jankel Veneziani couldn't finish the play. Roman Montez showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Jankel Veneziani, who was totally free with the ball in the 88th minute. 90 minutes into the match, Jankel Veneziani notched a goal, 4-4, to the right of Villa Mitre's Roman Montez. Roman Montez was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 94th minute Toren Potterman shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Roman Montez saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
