With an extended leg and a bit of luck Romain Labrouche prevented the ball from getting in the gole. After 24 played minutes Flamenco United got a freekick which was hit by Ronald Mathy. When Samuca Tepedino came up free with the goalie in the 26th minute, the Pégasus F. C. 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 Samuca Tepedino couldn't finish the play. Dráusio Pitta came out of the goal in the 30th minute to try and stop a shot by Flamenco United's Marten De Hond. But to his dismay, Marten De Hond quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-0.
