Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Liviu Gogu got the match started through his kick off. In the 3rd minute Joel Gaona shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Fabian Kornecki saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 13th minute Joel Gaona shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Fabian Kornecki saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Joel Gaona had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Luca Zorita struck a weak shot in the 24th minute. Fabian Kornecki didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Mexico. Fabian Kornecki showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Joel Gaona in the 29th minute of the match. Vasile Ştirbu could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 30th minute of the match, but Dante Lacasa made a huge save. 34 minutes into the match, Delphine Stars's goal looked a bit too open when Alberto Tafalla came free, but Fabian Kornecki reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Joel Gaona made a kick off. Dante Lacasa showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Cosme Cruz, who was totally free with the ball in the 53rd minute. In the 55th minute Joel Gaona shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Fabian Kornecki saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The supporters of Mexico booed when Delphine Stars was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 59 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ferdinand Hohenzollern didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 65 played minutes Delphine Stars got a freekick which was hit by Gavril Ţîrlea. After some fancy dribbling in the 66th 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. Fabian Kornecki breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Vasile Ştirbu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 74th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Dante Lacasa having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Mexico's Lautaro Mancebo got a free kick in the 77th minute. After having played for 82 minutes, Joel Gaona managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Mexico's supporters crossed their fingers, but Joel Gaona was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Alberto Tafalla 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. Dante Lacasa made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Vyacheslav Korolev in the 95th minute of play.
