Spectators: 7682 (Terracing: 5762, Seating: 1767, VIP seats: 153) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Genaro Talley took the kick off in the first half of the match. When Texas Cavaliers's Scott Gutierrez, in the 4th minute, received a pass right in front of the net, it looked like a certain goal, but his shot went outside. A wasted opportunity for Texas Cavaliers. Antoine Chamberlain received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 9th minute. Derrick Knutson tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Derrick Knutson took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Franklin Reeves, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Scott Gutierrez fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 29th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Derrick Knutson having to interfere. 30 minutes into the match, Roseburg City Football's goal looked a bit too open when Scott Gutierrez came free, but Derrick Knutson reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Franklin Reeves received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 32nd minute. Derrick Knutson tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

When Scott Gutierrez, who was free, got the in front of the goal in the 46 minute he wasn't focused and tipped the ball just over the goal. The Derrick Knutson was delighted since the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar.

After 82 played minutes Texas Cavaliers got a freekick which was hit by Val Merritt. After 90 played minutes, Texas Cavaliers's Val Merritt shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Derrick Knutson came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Texas Cavaliers reached it. The audience was convinced that Scott Gutierrez's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Derrick Knutson was relentless in the 92nd minute of the game. In the 94th minute Scott Gutierrez shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Derrick Knutson saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.
