Camp Nou
Spectators: 50 (Terracing: 38, Seating: 11, VIP seats: 1) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Radamel Falcao kicked off to start the match. The audience thought a goal was coming when Radamel Falcao got free with Dante Lacasa in the 6th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. An unexpectedly hard shot by Joel Gaona in the 8th minute of play forced FC Barcelona Lassa's goalkeeper Polikarp Miheev to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. A sloppy throw-in by Macos Graciani in the 10th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by FC Barcelona Lassa's Juan Feliu. The audience was convinced that Lautaro Mancebo's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Polikarp Miheev was relentless in the 11th minute of the game. When Lautaro Mancebo came up free with the goalie in the 12th minute, the Mexico 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 Lautaro Mancebo couldn't finish the play. In the 20th minute of the match, Anton Gertsyk tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Dante Lacasa saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. In the 22nd minute of the match FC Barcelona Lassa got a corner. Mexico's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Javier Sanguinetti ran over to the corner to take the kick. After 22 played minutes FC Barcelona Lassa got a freekick which was hit by Danil Saveliev. Macos Graciani got a throw-in 23 minutes in the game and the ball was received by Joel Gaona. The supporters of Mexico booed when FC Barcelona Lassa was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 27 match minutes in a wonderful position. Danil Saveliev didn't get a good kick on the ball. Joel Gaona was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 28th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Radamel Falcao's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Dante Lacasa firmly grabbed it by the left post. Mexico's Dante Lacasa played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Juan Feliu in the 32nd minute of play. In the 41st minute Radamel Falcao shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dante Lacasa saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 43rd minute Anton Gertsyk shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dante Lacasa saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Joel Gaona to strike the kick off in the second half. The crowd rose to their feet as Joel Gaona kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Polikarp Miheev. That made the score 1-1 in the 54 minute of play. In the 70th minute, Kazimierz Merski hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Polikarp Miheev showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Joel Gaona, who was totally free with the ball in the 72nd minute. Polikarp Miheev took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Joel Gaona, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 76th minute of the match Mexico got a corner. FC Barcelona Lassa's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Joel Gaona ran over to the corner to take the kick. The corner ended in Joel Gaona almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but FC Barcelona Lassa's Polikarp Miheev did a great save. Wlodzimierz Ranowiecki charged in rather forcefully in the 77th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Wlodzimierz Ranowiecki the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 78 played minutes FC Barcelona Lassa got a freekick which was hit by Wlodzimierz Ranowiecki. After some fancy dribbling in the 79th minute, Lautaro Mancebo managed to get in a good position for a shot. Mexico's supporters rose to their feet, but Lautaro Mancebo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Polikarp Miheev breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After a rather tough play, FC Barcelona Lassa's Tobiasz Dubiel got a free kick in the 82nd minute. Polikarp Miheev made an important save on a dangerous shot by Lautaro Mancebo in the 83rd minute. Joel Gaona sent away a hard shot on goal in the 84th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The crowd rose to their feet as Mexico's Joel Gaona slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Polikarp Miheev. That made the score 1-2 after 88 minutes of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 92nd minute, Joel Gaona managed to get in a good position for a shot. Mexico's supporters rose to their feet, but Joel Gaona was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Polikarp Miheev breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Mexico played a much better game than FC Barcelona Lassa and deserved their victory. The FC Barcelona Lassa players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
