Spectators: 45 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Uruguay's Francisco Seco started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Jaime Cazalla recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 3rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Afiz Teo stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Francisco Seco's shot from short distance in the 5th minute. Hidayat Peng's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 20thth minute, Joaquin Gayoso skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. After a rather tough play, Uruguay's Maximiliano Escribano got a free kick in the 24th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Francisco Seco in the 27th minute of play forced Redbourn AFC's goalkeeper Afiz Teo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Joaquin Gayoso was a little too slow when Victor Chan got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 32nd minute. The score was now 1-0. Redbourn AFC's Afiz Teo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Francisco Seco in the 35th minute of play. 2-0 became the score in the 39th minute when Victor Chan elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. The audience was convinced that Francisco Seco's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Afiz Teo was relentless in the 42nd minute of the game. In the 44th minute Francisco Seco shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Afiz Teo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 44 minutes into the match, Francisco Seco notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of Redbourn AFC's Afiz Teo. Afiz Teo was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-1.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Hidayat Peng stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Francisco Seco struck a weak shot in the 51st minute. Afiz Teo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Uruguay. Victor Chan might have been able to make a better finish in the 52nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Joaquin Gayoso. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Victor Chan ran back to his position shaking his head. After 55 minutes, Hidayat Peng made it 3-1 with a short kick to the right side. Uruguay's Joaquin Gayoso tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Francisco Seco could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 62nd minute of the match, but Afiz Teo made a huge save. Shafiq Chien-Kwan made in the 64th minute of the game a quick throw-in and Farhan Ching immediately put the ball in play. 66 minutes into the match, Uruguay's Francisco Seco sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Afiz Teo narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Jonathan Soon made in the 69th minute of the game a fairly good throw-in which was taken care of by Farhan Ching. In the 69th match minute, Uruguay was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Alberto Gisbert to maneuver through the defense. When the match clock showed 70 minutes, the score became 4-1 when Victor Chan sped through Uruguay's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Joaquin Gayoso. Victor Chan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 78th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Francisco Seco who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 79thth minute tested the skills of Afiz Teo when he managed to save the team from getting behind. The supporters of Redbourn AFC booed when Uruguay was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 80 match minutes in a wonderful position. Kevin Carballal didn't get a good kick on the ball. The corner led to Redbourn AFC's Victor Ching getting away a dangerous shot that went just outside the goal. Uruguay's Francisco Seco came free and shot a quick shot against goal 86 minutes in the game, fortunately Afiz Teo had problems saving as it came toward the left post. 89 minutes into the game, Jaime Cazalla recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Afiz Teo. Jaime Cazalla showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 4-2. Francisco Seco scored 4-3 in the 93rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Afiz Teo, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Redbourn AFC were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Uruguay for a fine match.
