Spectators: 8462 (Terracing: 6347, Seating: 1946, VIP seats: 169) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Marek Pencák started the match with the kick off. 3 minutes into the game, Alexander Francisci cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-0. Jozef Salák was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Pikachu FK's Martin Kušnír played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Marek Pencák in the 7th minute of play. A collision led to Dechtice getting a freekick after 9 minutes play. Tibor Masaryk hit a great ball. Marián Horňák struck a weak shot in the 11th minute. Martin Kušnír didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Dechtice. In the 15thth minute of the game Marek Pencák who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Pikachu FK's Martin Kušnír was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. 19 minutes into the match, Pikachu FK's goal looked a bit too open when Marek Pencák came free, but Martin Kušnír reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After some careless play in the Pikachu FK defense, Marek Pencák kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Martin Kušnír. The Pikachu FK fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Martin Kušnír should have stopped the shot. With a little luck, Dechtice's Jozef Salák got control of the ball when Martin Konkoly tried to sneak it across the goal line. 41 minutes into the match, Marek Pencák had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Martin Kušnír. Pikachu FK's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Marek Pencák was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2. In the 44th minute Marián Horňák shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Martin Kušnír saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Alexander Francisci to strike the kick off in the second half. After 54 minutes Dechtice's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Martin Konkoly who took care of the corner kick. At last the ball reached Stano Macák at the corner, ending with a kick to difficult to stop for the goalkeeper of Dechtice. 2-2. If Adam Laskovič had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Tibor Masaryk had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 71st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Marián Horňák sent away a hard shot on goal in the 76th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by 王城勇 in the 82nd minute of play forced Dechtice's goalkeeper Jozef Salák to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Jasper Oppitz received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 85th minute. Jozef Salák tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 87 played minutes Dechtice got a freekick which was hit by Tibor Masaryk. Martin Konkoly was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 88th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Martin Kušnír showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Marek Pencák in the 91st minute of the match. After having played for 95 minutes, Alexander Francisci managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Pikachu FK's supporters crossed their fingers, but Alexander Francisci was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. There was no doubt that Pikachu FK were the better team. Pikachu FK's players enjoyed the ovations of the crowd after the victory.
