After 3 played minutes Youth Academy Of Rhye got a freekick which was hit by Ovidiu Istrate. In the 4th minute Marcelo Vasconcelos shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ulf Holm saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Rui Souto showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Joélson Paiva, who was totally free with the ball in the 7th minute. When the match had gone on for 8 minutes, Maximiliano De Cesaris put it in 0-1 from a short distance just to the right of Rui Souto. Arsenal MGK's Rui Souto played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Maximiliano De Cesaris in the 12th minute of play. Rui Souto took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Abdulaziz Onurkan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Youth Academy Of Rhye's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Joélson Paiva in the 19th minute. It was a well-played corner which Adam Brun managed to volley towards the net. Unfortunately, he didn't get a great hit on the ball and it went out into the grandstand. Kléberson Garcia's late challenge caught a Youth Academy Of Rhye's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Kléberson Garcia helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Arsenal MGK's Kléberson Garcia got a free kick in the 21st minute. Ulf Holm made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Marcelo Vasconcelos in the 27th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Arsenal MGK's Jorge Travassos got a free kick in the 32nd minute.

In the 54th minute, Marcelo Vasconcelos made a precise shot to the right of Ulf Holm. Youth Academy Of Rhye's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-1. In the 57th match minute, Arsenal MGK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Leopoldo Vinhas to maneuver through the defense. Abdulaziz Onurkan fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 58th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rui Souto having to interfere. Marcelo Vasconcelos sent away a hard shot on goal in the 63rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Maximiliano De Cesaris came up free with the goalie in the 69th minute, the Youth Academy Of Rhye 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 Maximiliano De Cesaris couldn't finish the play. After some fancy dribbling in the 75th minute, Leopoldo Vinhas managed to get in a good position for a shot. Arsenal MGK's supporters rose to their feet, but Leopoldo Vinhas was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ulf Holm breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 76 minutes into the match, Arsenal MGK's goal looked a bit too open when Joélson Paiva came free, but Rui Souto reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Maximiliano De Cesaris in the 80thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Rui Souto, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. The supporters of Arsenal MGK booed when Youth Academy Of Rhye was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 87 match minutes in a wonderful position. Maximiliano De Cesaris didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 89 minutes of play, Youth Academy Of Rhye's Abdulaziz Onurkan made it 1-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Rui Souto was left in no man's land by his defense there! If Abdulaziz Onurkan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 93rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 95th minute, Marcelo Vasconcelos ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Ulf Holm was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-2. The Youth Academy Of Rhye players were the happier at the end of the match as they had prevented Arsenal MGK from taking control. The game ends in a draw.
