With a little luck, Venezuela's Jonathan Ferrant got control of the ball when Fotis Melas tried to sneak it across the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Fotis Melas in the 6th minute of play forced Venezuela's goalkeeper Jonathan Ferrant to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Necat Baysal came up free with the goalie in the 9th minute, the Lipochσrion FC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Necat Baysal couldn't finish the play. The Lipochσrion FC fans' excitement grew in the 11th match minute when Lipochσrion FC's Fotis Melas looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-0 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene.

Venezuela's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Fotis Melas was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-0.

In the 28th minute, Fotis Melas fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Jonathan Ferrant, passed just outside the right post.

Tomas Illescas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 73rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Jonathan Ferrant didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Lipochσrion FC. 88 minutes into the match, Fotis Melas notched a goal, 7-1, to the right of Venezuela's Jonathan Ferrant. Jonathan Ferrant was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 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. Lipochσrion FC fully deserved thier win.
