Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Frederick Griscti took the kick off in the first half of the match. Frederick Griscti scored 0-1 in the 4th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Mosalam Al Srae, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Mosalam Al Srae showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Lucas Leiva in the 8th minute of the match. In the 10th minute, Dane Friebe ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Mosalam Al Srae was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-2. Mosalam Al Srae didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Dane Friebe went, in the 13th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-3 was the resulting score.

In the 28th minute, George Hägglund left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Gärsnäs BF fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-4. When Ghaith Al Abdullah fell near the penalty area in the 33rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Steeple Claydon City's protests and gave Ghaith Al Abdullah a yellow card for diving instead. 34 minutes into the match, Steeple Claydon City's goal looked a bit too open when Dane Friebe came free, but Mosalam Al Srae reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The Gärsnäs BF fans' excitement grew in the 58th match minute when Gärsnäs BF's Dane Friebe looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal.

An unexpected shot in the 88th minute by Tord Lang got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. If Dane Friebe had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Frederick Griscti who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 92ndth minute tested the skills of Mosalam Al Srae when he managed to save the team from getting behind. After having played for 94 minutes, George Hägglund managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Gärsnäs BF's supporters crossed their fingers, but George Hägglund was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. With an all-out effort, Gärsnäs BF's Mosalam Al Srae threw himself towards the right post 96 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Dane Friebe, which otherwise would have been placed in the net.

In the 98th match minute, Gärsnäs BF was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ingmar Östlund to maneuver through the defense. After 99 played minutes, Steeple Claydon City's Falah Al Qattan shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Wang Cheng 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 Steeple Claydon City reached it. The Steeple Claydon City fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Gärsnäs BF were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
