Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Sebastian Villa in the 2nd minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Ismael Manyim prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Object's Ismael Manyim played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Edmundo Espiga in the 4th minute of play. When Moses Onyango fell near the penalty area in the 6th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Object's protests and gave Moses Onyango a yellow card for diving instead. After 6 played minutes Object got a freekick which was hit by Moses Onyango. Evans Roy kicked well hit freekick during the 12th minute of the match. Edmundo Espiga was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 13th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. The Honduras fans' excitement grew in the 19th match minute when Honduras's Sebastian Villa looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Ismael Manyim came out of the goal in the 23rd minute to try and stop a shot by Honduras's Edmundo Espiga. But to his dismay, Edmundo Espiga quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-2. After 26 minutes, Edmundo Espiga made it 0-3 with a short kick to the right side. Object's Ismael Manyim tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. A collision led to Object getting a freekick after 30 minutes play. Moses Onyango hit a great ball. After having played for 31 minutes, Moises Tafalla managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Honduras's supporters crossed their fingers, but Moises Tafalla was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Ismael Manyim showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Edmundo Espiga in the 38th minute of the match. In the 40th minute, Edmundo Espiga made a precise shot to the right of Ismael Manyim. Object's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-4. When the match had gone on for 45 minutes, Billy Chemjor put it in 1-4 from a short distance just to the right of Lautaro Navarro. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-4 lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Edmundo Espiga made a kick off. Sebastian Villa fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 52nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ismael Manyim having to interfere. Ismael Manyim made an important save on a dangerous shot by Sebastian Villa in the 57th minute. Deepak Wanjiru made in the 61st minute of the game a sloppy throw-in which Moses Onyango however managed to control. In the 63rd minute Billy Chemjor shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Lautaro Navarro saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Honduras's Esteban Carvallo managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Deepak Wanjiru in the 65 minute of the game. When Edmundo Espiga came up free with the goalie in the 67th 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. A collision led to Honduras getting a freekick after 73 minutes play. Luca Espinar hit a great ball. Ismael Manyim showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Edmundo Espiga, who was totally free with the ball in the 76th minute. Lautaro Navarro made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Evans Roy in the 78th minute of play. After 79 played minutes Honduras got a freekick which was hit by Ivan Navarro. After some fancy dribbling in the 80th minute, Moses Ntalami managed to get in a good position for a shot. Object's supporters rose to their feet, but Moses Ntalami 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. Object's Yusuf Ndereba got a good chance for a goal in the 82nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 86th minute the ball was on its way in behind Object's goalkeeper Ismael Manyim, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Honduras'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.
