Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The referee felt a red card was in order, 6 minutes into the game, when Jeremias Derwin put in a rough tackle. In a very dangerous position, a player in Yala fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 5th minute. Penalty! With a little luck, Yala's Lv Zhen Li got control of the ball when Lucas Vester tried to sneak it across the goal line. Armando Ritchie sent away a hard shot on goal in the 12th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Niki Bundev struck a weak shot in the 23rd minute. Koppány Török didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Yala. An unexpectedly hard shot by Esteve Abechuco in the 26th minute of play forced FC Lassens's goalkeeper Koppány Török to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 29 played minutes FC Lassens got a freekick which was hit by Ademar Mendes. Niki Bundev scored 1-1 in the 31st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Koppány Török, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 37 minutes into the match, Yala's goal looked a bit too open when Dobri Kolyovski came free, but Lv Zhen Li reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 38 played minutes FC Lassens got a freekick which was hit by Leo Hermansson. Lv Zhen Li made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ademar Mendes in the 42nd minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 44th minute, Niki Bundev managed to get in a good position for a shot. Yala's supporters rose to their feet, but Niki Bundev was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Koppány Török breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Alberto Jaunti had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 46th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Niki Bundev to strike the kick off in the second half. Koppány Török didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Esteve Abechuco went, in the 59th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-2 was the resulting score. 62 minutes into the match, FC Lassens's goal looked a bit too open when Niki Bundev came free, but Koppány Török reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 63rd minute, Ingvar Palmkvist got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. FC Lassens's Koppány Török proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 66th minute of the match, managed to save FC Lassens from getting a goal against them. Armando Ritchie's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Koppány Török read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 68th minute of play. Niki Bundev fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Koppány Török having to interfere. In the 78th minute Lucas Vester shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Lv Zhen Li saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 80 minutes into the match, Niki Bundev had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Koppány Török. FC Lassens's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Niki Bundev was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-3. 87 minutes into the game, Esteve Abechuco was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Yala's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave FC Lassens the free kick. Esteve Abechuco hit a great freekick 87 minutes into the match. Lv Zhen Li took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Lucas Vester, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. Yala had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
