Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Marno F.C.'s Igor Jokin started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. 5 minutes into the match, Monty Rogers notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Marno F.C.'s Aldo Beltxe. Aldo Beltxe was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Marco Day showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Gabriel Mónos in the 8th minute of the match. With an all-out effort, Marno F.C.'s Marco Day threw himself towards the right post 10 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Igor Jokin, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Gabriel Mónos in the 11thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Marco Day, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Marco Day made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Igor Jokin in the 16th minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in Marno F.C.'s zone, Monty Rogers stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Aldo Beltxe came out of the goal and Monty Rogers tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 39 minutes USA's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Lázaro Cefero who took care of the corner kick. A nice corner shot did that Zeledon Victoro got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Marco Day quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. Marno F.C.'s Aldo Beltxe played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Cassius Byrne in the 43rd minute of play. In the 46th minute Monty Rogers shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Aldo Beltxe saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Jorge Abilio hit a great freekick 48 minutes into the match. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

Marno F.C.'s Igor Jokin got a good chance for a goal in the 51st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Uriel Asier kicked well hit freekick during the 57th minute of the match. Zeledon Victoro's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Marco Day read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 65th minute of play. Gabriel Mónos fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 72nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Marco Day having to interfere. Marno F.C.'s Zeledon Valiente was substituted for Igor Jokin. Sam Campbell could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 78th minute of the match, but Aldo Beltxe made a huge save. 84 minutes into the game, Monty Rogers lined in a short shot 0-2 behind a frustrated Aldo Beltxe. USA's Marco Baker was substituted for Edward Mcdonald. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Zeledon Valiente in the 93rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Marco Day saved USA from getting behind. When the final whistle sounded USA left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Marno F.C..
