Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Francisco Seco took the kick off in the first half of the match. Joaquin Gayoso showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Zygmunt Falkowski in the 10th minute of the match. Joaquin Gayoso made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Slawomir Waselewicz in the 13th minute of play. The throw-in from Herbert Niedziela in the 14th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Uruguay's Alberto Gisbert. After a rather tough play, Eagle Stars FC's Izydor Zembrzuski got a free kick in the 33rd minute. In the 38th minute, Francisco Seco got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. The supporters of Eagle Stars FC booed when Uruguay was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 40 match minutes in a wonderful position. Bruno Beldad didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Uruguay's zone, Di Nan Yan stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Joaquin Gayoso came out of the goal and Di Nan Yan tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. It seemed to be an obvious goal in the 44th minute, but Joaquin Gayoso got his fingers on the ball or the save, leaving Uruguay hanging dry this time. After 45 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Uruguay! The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Zygmunt Falkowski was the one to do the kick off. 56 minutes into the match, Di Nan Yan had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Joaquin Gayoso. Uruguay's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Di Nan Yan was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. When Alberto Gisbert fell near the penalty area in the 58th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Uruguay's protests and gave Alberto Gisbert a yellow card for diving instead. In the 58th minute, Alberto Gisbert hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Slawomir Waselewicz received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 59th minute. Joaquin Gayoso tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Jaša Fašalek made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Maximiliano Escribano in the 66th minute of play. 73 minutes into the match, Eagle Stars FC's goal looked a bit too open when Maximiliano Escribano came free, but Jaša Fašalek reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 75 played minutes Uruguay got a freekick which was hit by Jorge Sainz. After recieving a nice pass, Eagle Stars FC's Jakub Pstrongowski tried to score from far away in the 76th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. Maximiliano Escribano fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 82nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jaša Fašalek having to interfere. Jaime Cazalla was extremely unlucky when he, in the 84th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. In the 91st play minute Francisco Seco came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Jaša Fašalek. 1-2. After a defensive mix-up in Eagle Stars FC's zone, Francisco Seco stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Jaša Fašalek came out of the goal and Francisco Seco tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Uruguay played a much better game than Eagle Stars FC and deserved their victory. The Eagle Stars FC players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
