Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Edmundo Espiga got the match started through his kick off. After having played for 14 minutes, Edmundo Espiga managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Honduras's supporters crossed their fingers, but Edmundo Espiga was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Niclas Hjälm could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 16th minute of the match, but Lautaro Navarro made a huge save. In the 21st minute, FC Kurdish Warriors's Sven-Arne Gustafsson ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Lautaro Navarro. Lautaro Navarro yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-0. If Sven-Arne Gustafsson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 31 played minutes FC Kurdish Warriors got a freekick which was hit by Alfred Eklund. Edmundo Espiga took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 32nd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Wictor Hagström.

Lars Trulsson made in the 33rd minute of the game a quick throw-in and Ingvar Asmundsson immediately put the ball in play. In the 35th minute, Isac Christoffersson fired away a shot on goal.

Edmundo Espiga struck a weak shot in the 41st minute. Wictor Hagström didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Honduras. 42 minutes into the game, FC Kurdish Warriors's Niclas Hjälm nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Lautaro Navarro made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-0. Honduras's Luca Espinar quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Lars Trulsson, made in the 46th minute of the game.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Sven-Arne Gustafsson stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 51st minute Edmundo Espiga shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Wictor Hagström saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Honduras's zone, Sven-Arne Gustafsson stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Lautaro Navarro came out of the goal and Sven-Arne Gustafsson tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Edmundo Espiga had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 55th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Edmundo Espiga in the 57th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Wictor Hagström prevented the ball from getting in the gole. When Niclas Hjälm came up free with the goalie in the 60th minute, the FC Kurdish Warriors 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 Niclas Hjälm couldn't finish the play. Sebastian Villa came free with the goalkeeper in the 62nd minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Wictor Hagström could save by the left post. Sebastian Villa sent away a hard shot on goal in the 69th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 74th minute Honduras were awarded a corner.

Lautaro Navarro didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Sven-Arne Gustafsson went, in the 77th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-0 was the resulting score. Valentín Carvallo's late challenge caught a FC Kurdish Warriors's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Valentín Carvallo helped the player get up and apologised. If Niclas Hjälm had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 85th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 94thth minute of the game Edmundo Espiga who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but FC Kurdish Warriors's Wictor Hagström was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball.
