Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Vernon Collins took the kick off in the first half of the match. After 2 played minutes Porters Fc got a freekick which was hit by Vernon Collins. After a rather tough play, Porters Fc's Tyrone Branch got a free kick in the 3rd minute. After 7 minutes, Calvin Halliday mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Porters Fc and the CAFC1905 players grew even worse after the yellow card. 11 minutes into the match, Porters Fc's goal looked a bit too open when Albert Fitzgerald came free, but Brian Seagrave reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Porters Fc's Brian Seagrave played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Albert Fitzgerald in the 16th minute of play. Calvin Halliday kicked well hit freekick during the 24th minute of the match. In the 25th minute of the match Urbasa Uria shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Brian Seagrave showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Vernon Collins in the 26th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Leandro Gombal saved CAFC1905 from getting behind. In the 27th minute Eduard Micineanu shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Brian Seagrave saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Aithan Dalahl charged in rather forcefully in the 31st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Aithan Dalahl the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a defensive mix-up in CAFC1905's zone, Vernon Collins stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Leandro Gombal came out of the goal and Vernon Collins tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Leandro Gombal stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Vernon Collins's shot from short distance in the 36th minute. If Albert Fitzgerald had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-3 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 Albert Fitzgerald to strike the kick off in the second half. 56 minutes into the match, Porters Fc's Vernon Collins sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Leandro Gombal narrowly saved just below the crossbar. A collision led to CAFC1905 getting a freekick after 67 minutes play. Petr Lykov hit a great ball.

Brian Seagrave made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ross Ingram in the 75th minute of play. Albert Fitzgerald blasted a shot towards the goal in the 78th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Brian Seagrave having to make a save. After a rather tough play, CAFC1905's Seth Ealham got a free kick in the 79th minute. CAFC1905's Rupert Freeman was substituted for Cecilio Fagildo. In the 80th minute, Seth Ealham hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Aithan Dalahl was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 84 minutes had been played. A collision led to CAFC1905 getting a freekick after 85 minutes play. Aithan Dalahl hit a great ball. Eduard Micineanu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 87th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing CAFC1905 would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
