Dumas
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Jorge Kerns took the kick off in the first half of the match. Dirk Grier received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 11th minute. Bryce Acuna tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. With his leg Nathaniel Faulk managed to avoid a goal in the 13thth minute, when Dumas FC's Jonah Gould fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. In the 15th minute Brendon LeBlanc shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bryce Acuna saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Jorge Kerns in the 18thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Nathaniel Faulk, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. In the 19th minute, Brendon LeBlanc left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Manhasset Hills fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. In the 22nd minute Jorge Kerns shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Nathaniel Faulk saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Nathaniel Faulk showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jorge Kerns in the 35th minute of the match. If Jonah Gould had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 41 minutes into the game, Brendon LeBlanc cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-3. Bryce Acuna was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After a defensive mix-up in Dumas FC's zone, Brendon LeBlanc stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Bryce Acuna came out of the goal and Brendon LeBlanc tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.

The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-4.

55 minutes into the game, Roger Vang was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Dumas FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Manhasset Hills the free kick. In the 55th minute, Roger Vang hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. With an all-out effort, Manhasset Hills's Bryce Acuna threw himself towards the right post 62 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Brendon LeBlanc, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. 63 minutes into the match, Dumas FC's goalkeeper Bryce Acuna had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Colin Hearn. A sloppy throw-in by Lance Bernal in the 66th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by Manhasset Hills's Flint Koehler. Flint Koehler was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 67th minute. Manhasset Hills's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Bryce Acuna took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Brendon LeBlanc, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Brendon LeBlanc fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 71st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bryce Acuna having to interfere. With a little luck, Dumas FC's Bryce Acuna got control of the ball when Colin Hearn tried to sneak it across the goal line.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Dirk Grier couldn't finish the play. If Brendon LeBlanc had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 91st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
