斯坦福桥
Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Paraskevas Spelas started the match with the kick off. 史旭林 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Lautaro Mancebo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Paraskevas Spelas's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Dante Lacasa firmly grabbed it by the left post. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Paraskevas Spelas in the 6th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Dante Lacasa saved Mexico from getting behind. A collision led to Mexico getting a freekick after 7 minutes play. Luca Rouco hit a great ball. Alberto Tafalla fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 25th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 史旭林 having to interfere. 史旭林 showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Lautaro Mancebo in the 27th minute of the match. Dante Lacasa showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Tomas Gabrielsson, who was totally free with the ball in the 30th minute. After some careless play in the 【FLY】≮风☆云≯蘑菇头炖鲁班 defense, Alberto Tafalla kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of 史旭林. The 【FLY】≮风☆云≯蘑菇头炖鲁班 fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that 史旭林 should have stopped the shot. 36 minutes into the match, 【FLY】≮风☆云≯蘑菇头炖鲁班's goal looked a bit too open when Lautaro Mancebo came free, but 史旭林 reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Luca Zorita struck a weak shot in the 37th minute. 史旭林 didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Mexico. After a rather tough play, 【FLY】≮风☆云≯蘑菇头炖鲁班's 潘西德 got a free kick in the 41st minute. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by 傅帆奕 during the 44th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Joel Gaona made a kick off. In the 63rd minute of the match, Lautaro Mancebo got a very nice opportunity to score, but 史旭林 was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. Dante Lacasa showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Tomas Gabrielsson, who was totally free with the ball in the 64th minute. The supporters of Mexico booed when 【FLY】≮风☆云≯蘑菇头炖鲁班 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 65 match minutes in a wonderful position. 傅帆奕 didn't get a good kick on the ball. Lautaro Mancebos short, quick shot in the 78thth minute got 史旭林 to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. In the 83rd minute, Pedro Goncalves hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Facundo Cadaval kicked well hit freekick during the 88th minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Paraskevas Spelas in the 89th minute of play forced Mexico's goalkeeper Dante Lacasa to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
