Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Marten Palermo kicked off to start the match. Marten Palermo might have been able to make a better finish in the 3rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Bruno Barrett. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Marten Palermo ran back to his position shaking his head. After some fancy dribbling in the 5th minute, Everardo Colas managed to get in a good position for a shot. Belfegor FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Everardo Colas was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Bruno Barrett breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 7th minute, Marten Palermo made a precise shot to the right of Bruno Barrett. Curacao's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. A collision led to Curacao getting a freekick after 10 minutes play. Rocco Owen hit a great ball. 17 minutes into the match, Curacao's goal looked a bit too open when Modesto Bernal came free, but Bruno Barrett reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

After a rather tough play, Belfegor FC's Walter Erviti got a free kick in the 21st minute. In the 24th minute Everardo Colas shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bruno Barrett saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Walter Erviti struck a weak shot in the 25th minute. Bruno Barrett didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Belfegor FC. If Modesto Bernal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience was convinced that Marten Palermo's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Bruno Barrett was relentless in the 33rd minute of the game. Belfegor FC's Everardo Colas was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Bruno Barrett in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. An unexpectedly hard shot by Modesto Bernal in the 36th minute of play forced Curacao's goalkeeper Bruno Barrett to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Belfegor FC's Modesto Bernal got a good chance for a goal in the 43rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Bruno Barrett showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Everardo Colas, who was totally free with the ball in the 44th minute. After 46 minutes, Everardo Colas made it 0-4 with a short kick to the right side. Curacao's Bruno Barrett tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. The Curacao players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Belfegor FC were winning 0-4.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Kyle Davies to make the kick off. Marten Palermos short, quick shot in the 52ndth minute got Bruno Barrett to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in.

That made the score 0-5 in the 55 minute of play. 62 minutes into the game, Everardo Colas recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Bruno Barrett. Everardo Colas showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 0-7. If Marten Palermo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 70th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Belfegor FC's Domingos Nabar was substituted for Simon Lapurdi. In the 77th minute, Dong Ming Qian 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. Marten Palermo had several of the Curacao's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 81 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 0-9 score and a disappointed Bruno Barrett as he didn't even see the shot coming. After having played for 86 minutes, Marten Palermo managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Belfegor FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Marten Palermo was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 88th match minute, Curacao was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Kyle Davies to maneuver through the defense. The Curacao fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Belfegor FC were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
