Spectators: 41 (Terracing: 32, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play.

Jim Morrison received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 8th minute. Richie Cagigal tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 10th minute, Lucho Aguiar managed to get in a good position for a shot. Real de Carmelo 2021 FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Lucho Aguiar was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Napoleon Jajko breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.

Cyprian Cwojdak hit a great ball. 37 minutes into the game, Amador Presebal threw the ball into play from the sideline. Real de Carmelo 2021 FC's Claudinei Tarriba quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. In the 38th minute, Mateo Palacio made a precise shot to the right of Richie Cagigal. Real de Carmelo 2021 FC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-3. After the first half Zjem Cię were leading 0-3. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

Zjem Cię made a substitution. Ciriaco Emenon replaced Tolek Wojtyna. After a defensive mix-up in Real de Carmelo 2021 FC's zone, Ciriaco Emenon stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Richie Cagigal came out of the goal and Ciriaco Emenon tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Mateo Palacio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 67 minutes into the match, Lucho Aguiar notched a goal, 1-3, to the right of Zjem Cię's Napoleon Jajko. Napoleon Jajko was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it.

When the match had gone on for 76 minutes, Mateo Palacio put it in 1-4 from a short distance just to the right of Richie Cagigal.
