In the 6th minute Ian Borden shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Casey Barr saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 7 played minutes Ladonia got a freekick which was hit by Cliff Hatcher. When Richard Bartlett fell near the penalty area in the 15th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Ladonia's protests and gave Richard Bartlett a yellow card for diving instead. 1-0 came in the 17th minute when Ian Borden all by himself managed to get straight through the defense and place the ball into the net to the right of Casey Barr. Vince West received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 28th minute. Renato Patten tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ian Borden came free with the goalkeeper in the 33rd minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Casey Barr could save by the left post. Jeff Willett took the ball and in the 34 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Renato Patten. Renato Patten dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. If Ian Borden had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 38th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Jeff Willett had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 43rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Jeff Willett in the 66thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Renato Patten, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. After having played for 72 minutes, Joe Betts managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ladonia's supporters crossed their fingers, but Joe Betts was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Joe Betts sent away a hard shot on goal in the 74th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Jeff Willett had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 76th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Joe Betts recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 77th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Casey Barr showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Domenico Blackburn in the 85th minute of the match. With a little luck, Libera FC's Renato Patten got control of the ball when Jeff Willett tried to sneak it across the goal line. Jeff Willett who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 95thth minute tested the skills of Renato Patten when he managed to save the team from getting behind.
