Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Saoirse McFrancise took the kick off in the first half of the match. Saoirse McFrancise sent away a hard shot on goal in the 11th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Felix Nichitelea fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 16th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without José Passos having to interfere. Felix Nichitelea struck a weak shot in the 19th minute. José Passos didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for WHATS UP HONG KONG. Marcelinho Rossi might have been able to make a better finish in the 28th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Damazy Moizuk. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Marcelinho Rossi ran back to his position shaking his head. CEAHLAUL 72's José Passos played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Dacian Balcan in the 36th minute of play. The supporters of WHATS UP HONG KONG booed when CEAHLAUL 72 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 36 match minutes in a wonderful position. Daniel Lucian didn't get a good kick on the ball. When the match had gone on for 37 minutes, Felix Nichitelea put it in 1-1 from a short distance just to the right of José Passos. If Marcelinho Rossi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 44th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

Damazy Moizuk didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for CEAHLAUL 72.
