Spectators: 7670 (Terracing: 5794, Seating: 1776, VIP seats: 100) After a rather tough play, Rayados's Harvey Childs got a free kick in the 4th minute. 4 minutes into the match, Dark Tide's Mitchell Alexander broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. After 12 played minutes Dark Tide got a freekick which was hit by Miguel Countess. Rhett Hodge sent away a hard shot on goal in the 19th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Rico Lacey's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Jesse Tomlinson read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 25th minute of play. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Tory Reaves during the 28th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 32nd minute, Vincent Carrey hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After having played for 37 minutes, Rosario Bristol managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Rayados's supporters crossed their fingers, but Rosario Bristol was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Rosario Bristol sent away a hard shot on goal in the 39th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Jackson Woodward stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Rhett Hodge's shot from short distance in the 41st minute. Mitchell Alexander was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 47th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Jose McNair to strike the kick off in the second half. After 55 minutes Rayados's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Mitchell Alexander who took care of the corner kick. Nathaniel Burt tried to clear up in front of the goal, but didn't succeed and rather the ball rolled into the own goal to the right of a despaired Jesse Tomlinson. An unnecessary self made goal, 1-0 in the 55th minute. In the 58th minute Rhett Hodge shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jackson Woodward saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A collision led to Dark Tide getting a freekick after 60 minutes play. Mitchell Alexander hit a great ball. 69 minutes had been played when some careless play by Rayados's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Mitchell Alexander was slow to take the kick. During this time Dark Tide's players had a chance to rest. The corner led Dark Tide's Mitchell Alexander to fire away a dangerous shot which Jesse Tomlinson despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Through an outstanding action, after 70 minutes, Jackson Woodward successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. In the 74th minute the ball was on its way in behind Dark Tide's goalkeeper Jackson Woodward, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. If Rhett Hodge had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 84th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Rico Lacey received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 93rd minute. Jesse Tomlinson tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Jesse Tomlinson made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Jose McNair in the 95th minute of play. Rayados's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
