After 4 minutes of play, Mexico's Joel Gaona made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Dinu Dabija was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 6th minute Joel Gaona shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dinu Dabija saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 8 minutes had been played when some careless play by G16 ⚽️NEGRELE⚽️'s defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner.

Dante Lacasa made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Svante Vase in the 14th minute of play.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Svante Vase to strike the kick off in the second half. After a defensive mix-up in Mexico's zone, Svante Vase stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Dante Lacasa came out of the goal and Svante Vase tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Lautaro Mancebo's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Dinu Dabija firmly grabbed it by the left post. An unexpectedly hard shot by Joel Gaona in the 70th minute of play forced G16 ⚽️NEGRELE⚽️'s goalkeeper Dinu Dabija to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After having played for 74 minutes, Alberto Tafalla managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Mexico's supporters crossed their fingers, but Alberto Tafalla was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.

G16 ⚽️NEGRELE⚽️'s Andrei Pintea was substituted for Michael Tan. Alberto Tafalla took the ball and in the 85 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Dinu Dabija. Dinu Dabija dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-3. Alberto Tafalla might have been able to make a better finish in the 88th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Dinu Dabija. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Alberto Tafalla ran back to his position shaking his head. Esteban Fonda lost his temper 96 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card.
