Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Manoel dos Santos started the match with the kick off. Gunvald Glarkrog showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Mané Veiga in the 4th minute of the match. With a little luck, Operário Futebol Clube's Paşa Nada got control of the ball when Davide Ubriaco tried to sneak it across the goal line.

Paşa Nada made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-0. In the 22nd minute the ball was on its way in behind Operário Futebol Clube's goalkeeper Paşa Nada, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.

In the 28th minute Manoel dos Santos shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gunvald Glarkrog saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

In the 38th minute, Andres Oper left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Strib Galacticos IF fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-0.

Paşa Nada made an important save on a dangerous shot by Andres Oper in the 47th minute. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

After a defensive mix-up in Strib Galacticos IF's zone, Mané Veiga stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Gunvald Glarkrog came out of the goal and Mané Veiga tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by İrfan Ilgıt in the 57th minute of play forced Strib Galacticos IF's goalkeeper Gunvald Glarkrog to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Gunvald Glarkrog was out of position in the 58 minute of play, and İrfan Ilgıt capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. İrfan Ilgıt really showed his touch with that goal: 2-1. In the 61st minute of the game Aybek Lami made a throw-in which Reis Birsel played forward. After a rather tough play, Strib Galacticos IF's Vlad Pâslaru got a free kick in the 62nd minute. The audience thought a goal was coming when Mané Veiga got free with Gunvald Glarkrog in the 67th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Strib Galacticos IF made a substitution. Sonni Engklint replaced Asım Arif Akatay. Paşa Nada showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Zhao Xiong Han, who was totally free with the ball in the 80th minute. Strib Galacticos IF's attentive Mircea Mihele managed to snatch the ball when Aybek Lami made a throw-in in the 85th minute of the game. 92 minutes into the game, Manoel dos Santos was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Operário Futebol Clube's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Strib Galacticos IF the free kick. Operário Futebol Clube were disappointed that they only managed a draw, even though they felt themselves to be the better team.
