Spectators: 52 (Terracing: 39, Seating: 12, VIP seats: 1) Cassius Byrne started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. In the 5th minute, Cassius Byrne made a precise shot to the right of Gottfrid Hedström. ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. After a rather tough play, USA's Jacob May got a free kick in the 12th minute. Ertan Duman recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 13th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Gottfrid Hedström took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cassius Byrne, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Raphael Moore hit a great freekick 24 minutes into the match. When Monty Rogers came up free with the goalie in the 31st minute, the USA 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 Monty Rogers couldn't finish the play. In the 32nd minute Monty Rogers shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gottfrid Hedström saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Fotis Theofilopoulos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. A collision led to ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ getting a freekick after 43 minutes play. Yu Ting hit a great ball.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Ertan Duman made a kick off. With a little luck, ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ's Gottfrid Hedström got control of the ball when Cassius Byrne tried to sneak it across the goal line.

When Besim Vecdet came up free with the goalie in the 73rd minute, the ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ fans jumped to their feet.

ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ's Gottfrid Hedström proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 76th minute of the match, managed to save ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ from getting a goal against them. USA made a substitution. Marco Baker replaced Edward Mcdonald. USA's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team.

Marco Day came out of the goal in the 89th minute to try and stop a shot by ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ's Besim Vecdet. But to his dismay, Besim Vecdet quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-2. An unexpectedly hard shot by Besim Vecdet in the 91st minute of play forced USA's goalkeeper Marco Day to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The attack was good, but when Besim Vecdet in the 92nd minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. After some careless play in the ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ defense, Sam Campbell kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Gottfrid Hedström. The ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Gottfrid Hedström should have stopped the shot. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. USA had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
