Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, 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. 康杰傲 started the match with the kick off. 6 minutes into the match, Costa Rica's goal looked a bit too open when 康杰傲 came free, but Benito Sanz reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The supporters of Costa Rica booed when 特洛伊木马人 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 8 match minutes in a wonderful position. 卓傲鹏 didn't get a good kick on the ball.

Eliseo Noboa recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 33rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Axel Tasis sent away a hard shot on goal in the 45th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 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.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Axel Tasis to make the kick off. 刘威昆 came out of the goal in the 53rd minute to try and stop a shot by Costa Rica's Eliseo Noboa.

With an all-out effort, 特洛伊木马人's Benito Sanz threw himself towards the right post 61 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from 康杰傲, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. After 62 minutes of play, Costa Rica's Aaron Alcocer made it 2-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. 刘威昆 was left in no man's land by his defense there! 刘威昆 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Eliseo Noboa, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When 袁适昆 fell near the penalty area in the 68th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored 特洛伊木马人's protests and gave 袁适昆 a yellow card for diving instead. Costa Rica's Alex Casaus was substituted for Efrain Moruga. When 特洛伊木马人's 康杰傲 in the 73rd minute got a chance for a shot 73rd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Costa Rica's goalie prevented a goal. 傅天骋 got his second yellow card in the match during the 79th minute which meant that he had to leave the ground. 袁适昆 struck a weak shot in the 91st minute. Benito Sanz didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for 特洛伊木马人. A collision led to Costa Rica getting a freekick after 93 minutes play. Lautaro Puig hit a great ball. For all the effort they put into the match, the 特洛伊木马人 players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Costa Rica.
