Spectators: 176 (Terracing: 133, Seating: 40, VIP seats: 3) FSX UNITED's Aldo Benvenuto managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Bartlomiej Rakoski in the 5 minute of the game. Ye Wei made an important save on a dangerous shot by Radoslaw Solibieda in the 8th minute. Braulio Gartxot came out of the goal in the 12th minute to try and stop a shot by FSX UNITED's Svend Betz.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Svend Betz in the 15th minute of play forced Red Devils's goalkeeper Braulio Gartxot to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The audience was convinced that Svend Betz's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Braulio Gartxot was relentless in the 15th minute of the game. After 17 minutes of play, Red Devils's Marcel da Rocha made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Ye Wei was left in no man's land by his defense there! Braulio Gartxot showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Zebastian Spets, who was totally free with the ball in the 22nd minute. Ye Wei made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Marcel da Rocha in the 24th minute of play.

After some fancy dribbling in the 36th minute, Svend Betz managed to get in a good position for a shot. FSX UNITED's supporters rose to their feet, but Svend Betz was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Braulio Gartxot breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. An unexpectedly hard shot by Marcel da Rocha in the 38th minute of play forced FSX UNITED's goalkeeper Ye Wei to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 40 minutes into the match, Marcel da Rocha notched a goal, 4-1, to the right of FSX UNITED's Ye Wei. Ye Wei was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After a defensive mix-up in Red Devils's zone, Svend Betz stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Braulio Gartxot came out of the goal and Svend Betz tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 4-1.

The wind increased when Marcel da Rocha made the kick off in the second half. After having played for 52 minutes, Svend Betz managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. FSX UNITED's supporters crossed their fingers, but Svend Betz was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.

Marcel da Rocha took the ball and in the 56 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Ye Wei. Ye Wei dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 5-1. FSX UNITED made a substitution. Marcelo Salas replaced Mircea Popilean. 64 minutes into the match, Marcel da Rocha had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Ye Wei. FSX UNITED's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Marcel da Rocha was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 6-1. Ye Wei showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Marcel da Rocha, who was totally free with the ball in the 66th minute.

In the 69th minute, Zebastian Spets hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Marcel da Rocha sent away a hard shot on goal in the 69th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The audience thought a goal was coming when Amancio Baesler got free with Braulio Gartxot in the 71st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Amancio Baesler might have been able to make a better finish in the 91st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Braulio Gartxot. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Amancio Baesler ran back to his position shaking his head. When Disvandis Advis was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 95 minutes had been played. Red Devils's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
