Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, 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. Edmundo Espiga started the match with the kick off. After having played for 4 minutes, Bombai Bombis managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Kentucky Mustangs's supporters crossed their fingers, but Bombai Bombis was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Bombai Bombis received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 5th minute. Lautaro Navarro tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. With a little luck, Honduras's Lautaro Navarro got control of the ball when Jack Agnes tried to sneak it across the goal line. After a rather tough play, Honduras's Esteban Carvallo got a free kick in the 10th minute. In the 14th minute Honduras were awarded a corner. Edmundo Espiga went to the cornerflag to take it. The throw-in from Barry Curry in the 16th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Honduras's Christian Sancho. Kentucky Mustangs's Cesar Hays got a good chance for a goal in the 21st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 30th minute, Edmundo Espiga hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 32 minutes into the game, Jack Agnes recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Lautaro Navarro. Jack Agnes showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-0. In the last second Lautaro Navarro throw himself and got hold of the ball when Bombai Bombis in the 36thth minute from his position got away a shot towards the right post. When Edmundo Espiga came up free with the goalie in the 38th minute, the Honduras 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 Edmundo Espiga couldn't finish the play.

After some fancy dribbling in the 57th minute, Bombai Bombis managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kentucky Mustangs's supporters rose to their feet, but Bombai Bombis was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Lautaro Navarro breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 58th minute, Bombai Bombis hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. With his leg Stanford Peters managed to avoid a goal in the 59thth minute, when Honduras's Edmundo Espiga fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Kentucky Mustangs's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Sophan Sudiro in the 62nd minute. Kentucky Mustangs's Sophan Sudiro was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Lautaro Navarro in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Lautaro Navarro took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bombai Bombis, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 73 minutes had been played when some careless play by Honduras's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Sophan Sudiro was slow to take the kick. During this time Kentucky Mustangs's players had a chance to rest. If Edmundo Espiga had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 78th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Stanford Peters showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Edmundo Espiga in the 81st minute of the match. The supporters of Honduras booed when Kentucky Mustangs was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 85 match minutes in a wonderful position. Gao Lang Feng didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 87th match minute, Kentucky Mustangs was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Wilford Griggs to maneuver through the defense. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Edmundo Espiga in the 88th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Stanford Peters prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Edmundo Espiga was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 91st played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 96th minute, Jack Agnes managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kentucky Mustangs's supporters rose to their feet, but Jack Agnes was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.
