Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Edmundo Espiga took the kick off in the first half of the match. Clemente Montes hit a great freekick 2 minutes into the match. If Moises Tafalla had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 6th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.

In the 23rd minute, Edmundo Espiga ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Spyros Chatzakos was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. With a little luck, Honduras's Lautaro Navarro got control of the ball when Franklin Sarron tried to sneak it across the goal line. 30 minutes into the match, Football Wizards 59's goal looked a bit too open when Edmundo Espiga came free, but Spyros Chatzakos reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Franklin Sarron made a kick off. Honduras's Valentín Carvallo managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Francesco Andreola in the 52 minute of the game. Sebastian Villa took the ball and in the 54 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Spyros Chatzakos.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Sebastian Villa in the 73rd minute of play forced Football Wizards 59's goalkeeper Spyros Chatzakos to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Gökçen Harmancı's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Lautaro Navarro read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 76th minute of play. When Sebastian Villa came up free with the goalie in the 80th minute, the Honduras 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 Sebastian Villa couldn't finish the play. A sloppy throw-in by Dobromir Zaremba in the 85th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by Honduras's Valentín Carvallo. 88 minutes into the game, Honduras's Edmundo Espiga nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot.

In the 96th minute Sebastian Villa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Spyros Chatzakos saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Honduras played a much better game than Football Wizards 59 and deserved their victory. The Football Wizards 59 players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
