Reuben McClelland struck a weak shot in the 10th minute. Rhett McKinley didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Chelsea F. After having played for 19 minutes, Nicky Benavides managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Billz United's supporters crossed their fingers, but Nicky Benavides was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Everett Zavala came out of the goal in the 23rd minute to try and stop a shot by Billz United's Nicky Benavides. But to his dismay, Nicky Benavides quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. Stevie Weathers took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 26th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Everett Zavala. Chelsea F's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. After 39 played minutes Billz United got a freekick which was hit by Kent Trent. Henry Bower's late challenge caught a Chelsea F's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Henry Bower helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Chelsea F booed when Billz United was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 46 match minutes in a wonderful position. Henry Bower didn't get a good kick on the ball. 48 minutes into the match, Reuben McClelland had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Rhett McKinley. Billz United's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Reuben McClelland was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Joshua Burger made a kick off. If Anthony Barnhart had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 58th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Lanny Li kicked well hit freekick during the 60th minute of the match. In the 65th minute, Robin Hendrix hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Sterling LeBlanc sent away a hard shot on goal in the 73rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Rhett McKinley showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Reuben McClelland in the 79th minute of the match.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Reuben McClelland in the 96th minute of play forced Billz United's goalkeeper Rhett McKinley to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 98 minutes into the match, Reuben McClelland notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of Billz United's Rhett McKinley. Rhett McKinley was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Many of Billz United's supporters were seen to leave the ground early as it became clear their team was going to lose. Billz United may have spent more time on the ball, but Chelsea F were more willing to take their chances and they walked away with the win.
