Spectators: 166 (Terracing: 125, Seating: 38, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Toren Potterman started the match with the kick off. With a little luck, TOP™ - Nairoby's Joélson Palmeira got control of the ball when Toren Potterman tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 5th match minute, G.R. was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Reuven Speyer to maneuver through the defense. Eugênio Simões charged in rather forcefully in the 8th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Eugênio Simões the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. G.R.'s Reuven Speyer saw an opening behind the goalie Joélson Palmeira in the 11thth minute and tried to shoot past into the top right corner, but with great reflexes Joélson Palmeira with one arm managed to save the shot in the last secound. Conrado Lara received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 13th minute. Rozen Lipsky tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The crowd rose to their feet as G.R.'s Reuven Speyer slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Joélson Palmeira. That made the score 1-0 after 19 minutes of play.

Joélson Palmeira made a fantastic save in the 24th minute, when Toren Potterman sent off a good shot on target. The referee felt a red card was in order, 27 minutes into the game, when Yotam Tamir put in a rough tackle. In the 29th minute there was a penalty for TOP™ - Nairoby. Andrézinho Lucas stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Rozen Lipsky. 1-1. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The wind increased when Magno de Sousa made the kick off in the second half. After having played for 51 minutes, Jankel Veneziani managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. G.R.'s supporters crossed their fingers, but Jankel Veneziani was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 56th minute Conrado Lara shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rozen Lipsky saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Lavan Ziton had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 58th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 59 minutes, Joshua Ziss managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. G.R.'s supporters crossed their fingers, but Joshua Ziss was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Joshua Ziss received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 64th minute. Joélson Palmeira tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in TOP™ - Nairoby's zone, Toren Potterman stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Joélson Palmeira came out of the goal and Toren Potterman tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The audience thought a goal was coming when Magno de Sousa got free with Rozen Lipsky in the 77th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Toren Potterman scored 2-1 in the 78th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Joélson Palmeira, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Joshua Ziss fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 84th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Joélson Palmeira having to interfere. The supporters of TOP™ - Nairoby booed when G.R. was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 90 match minutes in a wonderful position. Lavan Ziton didn't get a good kick on the ball. Rozen Lipsky was in exellent shape and made a fantastic save when he, in the 91st minute of the match, managed to get hold of the ball after a long shot from Andrézinho Lucas.
