Spectators: 205 (Terracing: 154, Seating: 47, VIP seats: 4) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Sultan-Mehmet Khan made the kick off which started today's match. 3 minutes into the match, ✩ Pep Team ✩'s goal looked a bit too open when Mar Cheze came free, but Spase Kastrati reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Anders Stenström made in the 4th minute of the game a sloppy throw-in which Karl-Johan Wallin however managed to control. Hexo Utd's Max Limont proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 5th minute of the match, managed to save Hexo Utd from getting a goal against them. Spase Kastrati stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Paulius Rožėnas's shot from short distance in the 8th minute.

Max Limont made a fantastic save in the 36th minute, when Sultan-Mehmet Khan sent off a good shot on target. 37 minutes had been played when some careless play by Hexo Utd's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Jiang Nan Song was slow to take the kick. During this time ✩ Pep Team ✩'s players had a chance to rest. If Sultan-Mehmet Khan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Hexo Utd's Max Limont played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Sultan-Mehmet Khan in the 42nd minute of play. 44 minutes in the game, Sultan-Mehmet Khan fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Max Limont having to interfere. Jiang Nan Song received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 47th minute. Max Limont tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

The wind increased when Paulius Rožėnas made the kick off in the second half. In the 53rd minute Paulius Rožėnas shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Spase Kastrati saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After having played for 54 minutes, Adolfo Brandão managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Hexo Utd's supporters crossed their fingers, but Adolfo Brandão was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. ✩ Pep Team ✩'s Spase Kastrati played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Mar Cheze in the 56th minute of play. Spase Kastrati took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mar Cheze, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

Hexo Utd's Miglius Simonaitis was substituted for Adolfo Brandão. Max Limont showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Sultan-Mehmet Khan in the 67th minute of the match.

Sultan-Mehmet Khan hit a great freekick 81 minutes into the match. Mar Cheze sent away a hard shot on goal in the 86th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 87 minutes into the match, Sultan-Mehmet Khan notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Hexo Utd's Max Limont. Max Limont was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Paulius Rožėnas recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 93rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The final whistle blew with the score still tied, and both teams left the pitch thinking about the missed chances that could have given their team the win.
