Battle of death
Spectators: 46 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 11, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Fabinho Pitta started the match with the kick off. The audience thought a goal was coming when Diómedes Rodriguez got free with Kieran Floyd in the 3rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort.

Totín De Leon hit a great freekick 28 minutes into the match. After 28 played minutes, The Engineers's Song Xing shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Sergio Gutierrez came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in The Engineers reached it.
