Spectators: 49 (Terracing: 38, Seating: 11, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Jonathan Alphonse made the kick off which started today's match. 3 minutes into the match, Haiti's goal looked a bit too open when Pāvils Ežkāja came free, but Noel Seide reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ainis Sudrabkalējs stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Jonathan Alphonse's shot from short distance in the 5th minute. After 8 minutes of play, FK LOHATRONI's Pāvils Ežkāja made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Noel Seide was left in no man's land by his defense there! After a rather tough play, FK LOHATRONI's Voldemārs Piekalns got a free kick in the 11th minute. 21 minutes into the game, Ernso Constant cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-1. Ainis Sudrabkalējs was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Ernso Constant received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 23rd minute. Ainis Sudrabkalējs tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Noel Seide showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Pāvils Ežkāja, who was totally free with the ball in the 30th minute. Jonathan Alphonses short, quick shot in the 44thth minute got Ainis Sudrabkalējs to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. 47 minutes into the match, Haiti's goal looked a bit too open when Zemgus Lovnieks came free, but Noel Seide reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After the first half FK LOHATRONI were leading 1-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The wind increased when Pāvils Ežkāja made the kick off in the second half. Noel Seide was out of position in the 61 minute of play, and Pāvils Ežkāja capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Pāvils Ežkāja really showed his touch with that goal: 2-3. 64 minutes into the game, Voldemārs Piekalns threw the ball into play from the sideline. Haiti's Ernso Constant quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. Noel Seide took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Zemgus Lovnieks, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Haiti's Ernso Constant quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Voldemārs Piekalns, made in the 69th minute of the game. Haiti's Noel Seide proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 71st minute of the match, managed to save Haiti from getting a goal against them. Noel Seide didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Arvils Smuksts went, in the 72nd minute, to the upper right corner, 2-4 was the resulting score. Pāvils Ežkāja's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Noel Seide read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 77th minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in Haiti's zone, Arvils Smuksts stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Noel Seide came out of the goal and Arvils Smuksts tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Arvils Smuksts had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 85th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Jonathan Alphonse came up free with the goalie in the 86th minute, the Haiti 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 Jonathan Alphonse couldn't finish the play. Philippe Ambroise fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 88th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ainis Sudrabkalējs having to interfere. Ainis Sudrabkalējs didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Jonathan Alphonse went, in the 95th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-4 was the resulting score. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched FK LOHATRONI eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
