Spectators: 7691 (Terracing: 5769, Seating: 1769, VIP seats: 153) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Tanner Tripp started the match with the kick off. Victor McHugh came free with the goalkeeper in the 4th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Walker Babcock could save by the left post. After 6 minutes of play, Boston Celtics's Harvey Greene made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Lorenzo Newby was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 20th minute, Podhale FC's Hector Karros dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-1. Walker Babcock showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Geraldo Wilcox in the 25th minute of the match.

Leroy Cermak fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 46th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Walker Babcock having to interfere. After the first half Boston Celtics were leading 1-3. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

Podhale FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Boston Celtics the free kick. Jarod Devine hit a great freekick 52 minutes into the match.

After some fancy dribbling in the 76th minute, Edgardo Abbott managed to get in a good position for a shot. Podhale FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Edgardo Abbott was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Walker Babcock breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Hector Karros hit a great freekick 79 minutes into the match.
