Andreas Hansen dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. After 8 minutes, Jeppe Tverskov mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the FC Nordsjælland and the Stowe City players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 8th minute, Jeppe Tverskov hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 9 minutes into the match, FC Nordsjælland's goal looked a bit too open when Leo Bingham came free, but Andreas Hansen reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Andreas Hansen made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Nils-Emil Tunström in the 11th minute of play. 13 minutes had been played when some careless play by FC Nordsjælland's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Matt Briggs was slow to take the kick. During this time Stowe City's players had a chance to rest. In the 17th play minute Sindre Walle came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Kaj Helström. 1-1.

Andreas Hansen tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 36 played minutes FC Nordsjælland got a freekick which was hit by Andreas Schjelderup. If Leo Bingham had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 41stth minute of the game Niles Crane who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but FC Nordsjælland's Andreas Hansen was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Dimitar Berbatov fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 44th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Kaj Helström having to interfere. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Niles Crane to strike the kick off in the second half. When Yulian Kichukov came up free with the goalie in the 53rd minute, the FC Nordsjælland fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Yulian Kichukov couldn't finish the play. In the 60th minute the ball was on its way in behind Stowe City's goalkeeper Kaj Helström, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. An unexpected shot in the 63rd minute by Matt Briggs got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side.

Andreas Hansen came out and tried to block the shot, but Nils-Emil Tunström slotted it home off the left post making it 1-3 in the 70th minute. Niles Crane fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 74th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Andreas Hansen having to interfere. Emmanuel Stroh struck a weak shot in the 76th minute. Andreas Hansen didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Stowe City. An unexpectedly hard shot by Benjamin Nygren in the 81st minute of play forced Stowe City's goalkeeper Kaj Helström to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Kaj Helström showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Yulian Kichukov, who was totally free with the ball in the 82nd minute. Stowe City's Kaj Helström played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Yulian Kichukov in the 84th minute of play. Benjamin Nygren scored 2-3 in the 90th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Kaj Helström, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Niles Cranes short, quick shot in the 95thth minute got Andreas Hansen to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. With a couple of smart ball manuevers İsmail Pekşen in the 97th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Andreas Hansen saved FC Nordsjælland from getting behind. The FC Nordsjælland fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Stowe City were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
