Spectators: 47 (Terracing: 36, Seating: 11, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Lino Rios started the match with the kick off. Vellito Alguerdo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Guido Txindoki, who was totally free with the ball in the 10th minute. In the 18th minute, Lino Rios ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Vellito Alguerdo was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-2. If Lino Rios had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 34 minutes into the match, AFC FUSION's goal looked a bit too open when Rahim Niğdeli came free, but Roberto Eztebe reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 36 minutes into the match, Rahim Niğdeli dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Roberto Eztebe, 1-3. Roberto Eztebe made an important save on a dangerous shot by Rahim Niğdeli in the 42nd minute. 46 minutes into the game, Pertti Koskenkorva was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. NAGANO F.C's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave AFC FUSION the free kick. After 47 played minutes NAGANO F.C got a freekick which was hit by Pertti Koskenkorva. After the first half AFC FUSION were leading 1-3. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Rahim Niğdeli to make the kick off. Roberto Eztebe showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Rahim Niğdeli, who was totally free with the ball in the 55th minute. Vellito Alguerdo was a little too slow when Lino Rios got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 58th minute. The score was now 1-4. Roberto Eztebe took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Rahim Niğdeli, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. AFC FUSION's Christoff Stocks was substituted for Lino Rios. Pawel Mietus kicked well hit freekick during the 73rd minute of the match. 郝德坤 made in the 77th minute of the game a fairly good throw-in which was taken care of by Pawel Mietus. In the 80th minute of the game Isaias Montejo made a throw-in which Teo Alberdi played forward. In the 83rd minute the ball was on its way in behind NAGANO F.C's goalkeeper Vellito Alguerdo, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 85 minutes into the match, Christoff Stocks dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Vellito Alguerdo, 1-5. An unexpectedly hard shot by Pawel Mietus in the 92nd minute of play forced AFC FUSION's goalkeeper Roberto Eztebe to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 95 minutes into the match, NAGANO F.C's Rahim Niğdeli sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Roberto Eztebe narrowly saved just below the crossbar. The NAGANO F.C supporters were disappointed that their team didn't take anything from the match, despite matching AFC FUSION's performance. The match ended with a win for AFC FUSION.
