Spectators: 184 (Terracing: 139, Seating: 42, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Bernardo Novaes started the match with the kick off. In the 9th minute Bernardo Novaes shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tristan Vicente saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Paco Arzola hit a great freekick 10 minutes into the match. In the 13th minute, Özcan Sulasi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Lex Academy's Tomáš Houdek played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rick Grimes in the 19th minute of play. Tristan Vicente took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bernardo Novaes, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 24 minutes into the match, Lex Academy's goalkeeper Tomáš Houdek had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Rick Grimes. Rick Grimes's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Tomáš Houdek firmly grabbed it by the left post. In the 27th match minute, Les 3 Quilles FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Mei Jing Liang to maneuver through the defense. Genaro Serapio struck a weak shot in the 28th minute. Tristan Vicente didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Lex Academy. In the 32ndth minute of the game Jules Spinelli who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Lex Academy's Tomáš Houdek was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. When Rick Grimes came up free with the goalie in the 34th minute, the Les 3 Quilles FC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Rick Grimes couldn't finish the play. If Jules Spinelli had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 38th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Bernardo Novaes recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 43rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Jules Spinelli to strike the kick off in the second half. The crowd rose to their feet as Bernardo Novaes kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Tristan Vicente. That made the score 0-1 in the 51 minute of play. Radomir Wyrostek received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 60th minute. Tristan Vicente tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 65 minutes into the match, Lex Academy's goal looked a bit too open when Rick Grimes came free, but Tomáš Houdek reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Jules Spinelli recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 69th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Lex Academy's Leo Štengl was substituted for Radomir Wyrostek. After some fancy dribbling in the 72nd minute, Leo Štengl managed to get in a good position for a shot. Lex Academy's supporters rose to their feet, but Leo Štengl was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Tristan Vicente breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Tristan Vicente was out of position in the 77 minute of play, and Bernardo Novaes capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Bernardo Novaes really showed his touch with that goal: 0-2. 81 minutes into the game, Samuel Alves threw the ball into play from the sideline. Lex Academy's Otmar Schovánek quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. Bernardo Novaes's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Tristan Vicente read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 88th minute of play. Ronan Péneau took the ball and in the 89 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Tomáš Houdek. Tomáš Houdek dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-2. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Bernardo Novaes in the 93rd minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Tristan Vicente prevented the ball from getting in the gole.
