Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Douglas Duset started the match with the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Eliseo Noboa in the 7th minute of play forced Hög Svans Föring's goalkeeper Stancho Chapanov to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Niclas Hedling during the 12th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 18th minute, Axel Tasis left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Costa Rica fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. 23 minutes into the match, Hög Svans Föring's goal looked a bit too open when Axel Tasis came free, but Stancho Chapanov reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Eliseo Noboa fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 95th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Stancho Chapanov having to interfere. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Hög Svans Föring fully deserved thier win.
