After 5th play minutes Asher Luther shot 0-1, a short shot which went by Glenn Cardwell and just under the crossbar into goal. Val Mabry struck a weak shot in the 10th minute. J.C. Sherwood didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for CSyD Almafuerte.

Glenn Cardwell dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-2. Jessie Goss recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 16th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Val Mabry charged in rather forcefully in the 17th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Val Mabry the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 17 played minutes CSyD Almafuerte got a freekick which was hit by Val Mabry. J.C. Sherwood showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Spencer Webb, who was totally free with the ball in the 19th minute. Rodger Mendoza fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 22nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Glenn Cardwell having to interfere.

CSyD Almafuerte's supporters rose to their feet, but Spencer Webb was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. J.C.

Disappointed in the 0-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.
