Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Reed Cornett started the match with the kick off. Emmitt Myers showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Reed Cornett in the 5th minute of the match. 12 minutes into the match, WolfPack's goal looked a bit too open when Rex Levine came free, but Sergio Aguirre reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Rex Levine was extremely unlucky when he, in the 19th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. A hard shot by Brad Gee from long distance, 27 minutes into the match, got Sergio Aguirre's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. Sherman Abernathy in the 29thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Sergio Aguirre, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Ned Belanger might have been able to make a better finish in the 32nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Emmitt Myers. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Ned Belanger ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 36th minute, Ned Belanger got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 38th of the match, Rex Levine tried to place the ball in the upper right corner, but Sergio Aguirre got in the way and made a wonderful save. Sherman Abernathy fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 40th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Sergio Aguirre having to interfere. Emmitt Myers showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ned Belanger, who was totally free with the ball in the 42nd minute. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Rex Levine made a kick off. After 53 played minutes, Armona's Brad Gee shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Sergio Aguirre 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 Armona reached it. 54 minutes into the match, WolfPack's goal looked a bit too open when Sherman Abernathy came free, but Sergio Aguirre reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Sherman Abernathy's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Sergio Aguirre read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 57th minute of play. In the 60th minute, Ned Belanger fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Emmitt Myers, passed just outside the right post. In the 63rd minute the ball was on its way in behind WolfPack's goalkeeper Sergio Aguirre, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The audience was convinced that Rex Levine's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Sergio Aguirre was relentless in the 64th minute of the game. In the 66th minute Sherman Abernathy shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sergio Aguirre saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Domenico Gilmore fell near the penalty area in the 71st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored WolfPack's protests and gave Domenico Gilmore a yellow card for diving instead. In the 71st minute, Domenico Gilmore hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Ned Belanger received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 76th minute. Emmitt Myers tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 84 minutes WolfPack's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Fabian Whitehead who took care of the corner kick. Armona's Fabian Whitehead was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Sergio Aguirre in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Sergio Aguirre showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Rex Levine, who was totally free with the ball in the 88th minute. Armona's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
