Battle of death
Spectators: 7543 (Terracing: 5659, Seating: 1734, VIP seats: 150) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Raul Brandao got the match started through his kick off. The referee felt a red card was in order, 7 minutes into the game, when Rafael Centella put in a rough tackle. Rafael Centella kicked well hit freekick during the 7th minute of the match. After a defensive mix-up in ►Las Mercedes F.C◄'s zone, Fredrik Trulsson stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Milton Diaz came out of the goal and Fredrik Trulsson tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. With an all-out effort, ►Las Mercedes F.C◄'s David Håning threw himself towards the right post 11 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Julio De Leon, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Samuel Jonasson kicked well hit freekick during the 14th minute of the match. David Håning made a fantastic save in the 15th minute, when Hermes Pinilla sent off a good shot on target. Ludwig Björklund kicked well hit freekick during the 23rd minute of the match. In the 24th minute, Heraclides Moreno sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and White Hart Lane's David Håning didn't even have to move. After a rather tough play, White Hart Lane's Olov Alefors got a free kick in the 26th minute. 27 minutes into the match, White Hart Lane's goal looked a bit too open when Heraclides Moreno came free, but David Håning reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Klas Söderkvist scored 0-1 in the 32nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Milton Diaz, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. White Hart Lane's David Håning played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Julio De Leon in the 42nd minute of play. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 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 Klas Söderkvist to strike the kick off in the second half. Milton Diaz was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Henric Hellström showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 0-2 in the 53 minute of play. Milton Diaz made a fantastic save in the 61st minute, when Klas Söderkvist sent off a good shot on target. Julio De Leon sent away a hard shot on goal in the 66th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Klas Söderkvists short, quick shot in the 76thth minute got Milton Diaz to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. 81 minutes into the game, Samuel Jonasson was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. White Hart Lane's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave ►Las Mercedes F.C◄ the free kick. Samuel Jonasson kicked well hit freekick during the 81st minute of the match. In the 83rd minute Julio De Leon shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but David Håning saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Henric Hellström struck a weak shot in the 90th minute. Milton Diaz didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for White Hart Lane. With 94 minutes on the clock, Ludwig Björklund commited a dangerous tackle. The referee had no choice but to show him the red card. Ludwig Björklund hit a great freekick 95 minutes into the match. ►Las Mercedes F.C◄'s Heraclides Moreno got a good chance for a goal in the 96th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. White Hart Lane had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
