Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Joel Gaona made the kick off which started today's match. 7 minutes into the match, Mexico's goalkeeper Dante Lacasa had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ivan Pătrășcanu. 9 minutes had been played when some careless play by Mexico's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Alex Telles was slow to take the kick. During this time ФСК Буковина ★DAC★'s players had a chance to rest. After 11 minutes of play, Mexico's Joel Gaona made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 41 minutes into the game, Lautaro Mancebo cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-4. Danny-Rafael Junior was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. A collision led to Mexico getting a freekick after 44 minutes play. Alberto Tafalla hit a great ball.

Lautaro Mancebo's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 76thth minute, Danny-Rafael Junior skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. Lautaro Mancebo had several of the ФСК Буковина ★DAC★'s defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 76 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-5 score and a disappointed Danny-Rafael Junior as he didn't even see the shot coming. The supporters of Mexico booed when ФСК Буковина ★DAC★ was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 86 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ivan Pătrășcanu didn't get a good kick on the ball.

The penalty shot was made by Joel Gaona, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of ФСК Буковина ★DAC★'s Danny-Rafael Junior. 1-6. Joel Gaona was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 97th minute. Mexico's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Mexico's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
