In the 7th minute Lázaro Flores shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rozen Lipsky saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Lavan Ziton's late challenge caught a Valhalla Time's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

After a defensive mix-up in G.R.'s zone, Lázaro Flores stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Rozen Lipsky came out of the goal and Lázaro Flores tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 28 minutes into the match, G.R.'s goal looked a bit too open when Amaury Hulsen came free, but Rozen Lipsky reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 38th minute, Lázaro Flores managed to get in a good position for a shot. Valhalla Time's supporters rose to their feet, but Lázaro Flores was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Rozen Lipsky breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When the match had gone on for 43 minutes, Lázaro Flores put it in 0-2 from a short distance just to the right of Rozen Lipsky. G.R.'s Jedaiah Elishvili was substituted for Joshua Ziss. The G.R. players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Valhalla Time were winning 0-2.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Lázaro Flores made a kick off.

After a rather tough play, G.R.'s Eliashiv Dennon got a free kick in the 62nd minute. The audience was convinced that Amaury Hulsen's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Rozen Lipsky was relentless in the 64th minute of the game. In the 65th match minute, G.R. was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Eliashiv Dennon to maneuver through the defense. When Eliashiv Dennon fell near the penalty area in the 71st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored G.R.'s protests and gave Eliashiv Dennon a yellow card for diving instead. In the 71st minute, Eliashiv Dennon hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Matias Nalo, 71 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. After 85 played minutes Valhalla Time got a freekick which was hit by Matias Nalo. If Amaury Hulsen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. A collision led to Valhalla Time getting a freekick after 94 minutes play. Lázaro Flores hit a great ball.
