In the 7th minute, Dan Pratt hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Noah Quinones took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ollie Goode, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The audience thought a goal was coming when Bernie Saucedo got free with Noah Quinones in the 13th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Noah Quinones showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ollie Goode, who was totally free with the ball in the 16th minute.

A collision led to FC Sajoka getting a freekick after 24 minutes play.
