LA BOMBONERA
Spectators: 41 (Terracing: 32, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Habil Castolo got the match started through his kick off. Bandung Tigers's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Wang Zheng Yun in the 9th minute. When Wang Zheng Yun came up free with the goalie in the 12th minute, the Bandung Tigers 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 Wang Zheng Yun couldn't finish the play. The supporters of the xeneise dream team booed when Bandung Tigers was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 17 match minutes in a wonderful position. Kaan Zoet didn't get a good kick on the ball.

Anak Selby blasted a shot towards the goal in the 26th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Vinicio Aires having to make a save.

Nereo Roldanillo hit a great freekick 27 minutes into the match. 31 minutes into the match, Bandung Tigers's goal looked a bit too open when Zacharias Siatzis came free, but Mekki Item reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Mekki Item took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Paolo Eutor, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 38 minutes the xeneise dream team's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Wang Zheng Yun who took care of the corner kick. Anak Selby made a great header on Bandung Tigers's corner, it was just that the xeneise dream team's Vinicio Aires managed to reach the ball for a save. Mekki Item made an important save on a dangerous shot by Habil Castolo in the 45th minute. Bandung Tigers's Mekki Item played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Paolo Eutor in the 47th minute of play. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-2 lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Anak Selby to strike the kick off in the second half. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Anak Selby in the 52nd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Vinicio Aires saved the xeneise dream team from getting behind. An unexpectedly hard shot by Zacharias Siatzis in the 54th minute of play forced Bandung Tigers's goalkeeper Mekki Item to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Radomir Gajewski received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 62nd minute. Vinicio Aires tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 68 minutes into the match, Bandung Tigers's Anak Selby sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Vinicio Aires narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

Vinicio Aires came out of the goal and Anak Selby tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 83 minutes in the game Genaro Farias did a throw-in, and the ball was quickly in game thanks to Nereo Roldanillo. An unexpectedly hard shot by Aquiles Mikolas in the 84th minute of play forced Bandung Tigers's goalkeeper Mekki Item to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
