Dante Lacasa dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-0. 24 minutes into the match, FC XY's goal looked a bit too open when Luca Zorita came free, but Miroslav Motuz reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Miroslav Motuz took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Joel Gaona, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 40th minute Joel Gaona shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Miroslav Motuz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Alberto Tafalla received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 93rd minute. Miroslav Motuz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Daniel Pavlovič scored 2-0 in the 95th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Dante Lacasa, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.
