Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Todd Koch took the kick off in the first half of the match. Theron Cormier scored 0-1 in the 5th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Emery Edmondson, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Shelby Loyd to strike the kick off in the second half. After 55 played minutes, Wahoos FC's Marc Brandon shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Trey Crockett came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Wahoos FC reached it. 57 minutes into the game, Allen Walsh was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.
