Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Jonathan Ferrant showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jan Koller in the 6th minute of the match. 7 minutes into the match, Głodne Ghule's Marek Czech sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Jonathan Ferrant narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 12th minute, Juan Cristóbal Koffidis reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Jonathan Ferrant. The goal made the score 1-0. 16 minutes had been played when some careless play by Głodne Ghule's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Tomas Illescas was slow to take the kick. During this time Venezuela's players had a chance to rest. The corner led to Venezuela's Jonathan Venegas getting away a dangerous shot that went just outside the goal. Jonathan Ferrant didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Jan Koller went, in the 20th minute, to the upper right corner, 2-0 was the resulting score. In the 25th minute Tomas Illescas shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Maciej Mielcarz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a rather tough play, Głodne Ghule's Szymon Pilipiec got a free kick in the 31st minute. When Tomas Illescas came up free with the goalie in the 34th minute, the Venezuela 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 Tomas Illescas couldn't finish the play. The crowd rose to their feet as Marek Czech kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Jonathan Ferrant. That made the score 4-0 in the 36 minute of play. Tomas Illescas took the ball and in the 39 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Maciej Mielcarz. Maciej Mielcarz dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 4-1. With a little luck, Venezuela's Jonathan Ferrant got control of the ball when Marek Czech tried to sneak it across the goal line. Af the end of the first half the score was 5-1. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Tomas Illescas to make the kick off. Głodne Ghule's Roger Blom was substituted for Juan Cristóbal Koffidis. After 61 played minutes Głodne Ghule got a freekick which was hit by Bartosz Sliško. Głodne Ghule's Maciej Mielcarz played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Patricio Costa in the 66th minute of play. Jan Koller received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 67th minute. Jonathan Ferrant tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Maciej Mielcarz came out of the goal in the 76th minute to try and stop a shot by Venezuela's Tomas Illescas. But to his dismay, Tomas Illescas quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 6-2. Jonathan Ferrant made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Marek Czech in the 80th minute of play. In the 85th minute, Marek Czech ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Jonathan Ferrant was frozen by the shot and now it was 7-2. If Patricio Costa had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 88th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Marek Czech in the 91st minute of play forced Venezuela's goalkeeper Jonathan Ferrant to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Jan Koller in the 93rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Jonathan Ferrant saved Venezuela from getting behind. Venezuela's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
