Spectators: 50 (Terracing: 38, Seating: 11, VIP seats: 1) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Gustaw Pawelczyk made the kick off which started today's match. After 3 played minutes Feyenoord Malinovo got a freekick which was hit by Igor Gašpar. An unexpectedly hard shot by Joel Gaona in the 6th minute of play forced Feyenoord Malinovo's goalkeeper Rastislav Duch to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Dante Lacasa made a fantastic save in the 16th minute, when Gustaw Pawelczyk sent off a good shot on target. After having played for 22 minutes, Alberto Tafalla managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Mexico's supporters crossed their fingers, but Alberto Tafalla was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 25 minutes into the match, Mexico's Joel Gaona sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Rastislav Duch narrowly saved just below the crossbar. 29 minutes into the match, Mexico's goal looked a bit too open when Gustaw Pawelczyk came free, but Dante Lacasa reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 30th minute the ball was on its way in behind Feyenoord Malinovo's goalkeeper Rastislav Duch, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Gustaw Pawelczyk took the ball and in the 32 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Dante Lacasa. Dante Lacasa dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-0. An unexpectedly hard shot by Lautaro Mancebo in the 40th minute of play forced Feyenoord Malinovo's goalkeeper Rastislav Duch to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The audience was convinced that Gustaw Pawelczyk's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Dante Lacasa was relentless in the 43rd minute of the game. Dante Lacasa took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Viliam Kaprálik, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Joel Gaona to make the kick off. With an all-out effort, Mexico's Rastislav Duch threw himself towards the right post 56 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Joel Gaona, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Ctibor Margita charged in rather forcefully in the 58th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Ctibor Margita the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Alberto Tafalla recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 59th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 61 minutes into the match, Mexico's goal looked a bit too open when Gustaw Pawelczyk came free, but Dante Lacasa reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Feyenoord Malinovo's Rastislav Duch proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 62nd minute of the match, managed to save Feyenoord Malinovo from getting a goal against them. In the 66th minute Gustaw Pawelczyk shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dante Lacasa saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 68 minutes into the match, Mexico's Joel Gaona sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Rastislav Duch narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Feyenoord Malinovo made a substitution. Eugen Zoch replaced Viliam Kaprálik. Alberto Tafalla sent away a hard shot on goal in the 73rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Joel Gaona struck a weak shot in the 76th minute. Rastislav Duch didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Mexico. 86 minutes into the match, Mexico's goal looked a bit too open when Peter Németh came free, but Dante Lacasa reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 87 minutes had been played when some careless play by Mexico's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Peter Németh was slow to take the kick. During this time Feyenoord Malinovo's players had a chance to rest. The corner led Feyenoord Malinovo's Peter Németh to fire away a dangerous shot which Dante Lacasa despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. A collision led to Mexico getting a freekick after 89 minutes play. Lorenzo Cazalla hit a great ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Eugen Zoch in the 91st minute of play forced Mexico's goalkeeper Dante Lacasa to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 96 minutes into the match, Alberto Tafalla notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Feyenoord Malinovo's Rastislav Duch. Rastislav Duch was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Both teams had looked equal from kick-off, and no-one was surprised when the match finally ended in a draw.
