Spectators: 7536 (Terracing: 5653, Seating: 1733, VIP seats: 150) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Nico Paz kicked off to start the match. 4 minutes into the match, Nico Paz notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Szolnoki MÁV's Ottó Szántó. Ottó Szántó was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After having played for 12 minutes, Uriel Cristos managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. MARTINETA's supporters crossed their fingers, but Uriel Cristos was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 14th match minute, Szolnoki MÁV was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Roland Varga to maneuver through the defense.

After some fancy dribbling in the 19th minute, Agustín Ruberto managed to get in a good position for a shot. MARTINETA's supporters rose to their feet, but Agustín Ruberto was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ottó Szántó breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. A collision led to Szolnoki MÁV getting a freekick after 22 minutes play. Roland Varga hit a great ball. When Nico Paz came up free with the goalie in the 23rd minute, the MARTINETA fans jumped to their feet.

In the 23rd match minute, MARTINETA was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Uriel Cristos to maneuver through the defense. A hard shot by Csanád Újvári from long distance, 24 minutes into the match, got Garaona Alfeiran's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. In the 27th minute Nico Paz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ottó Szántó saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 32 minutes into the game, Gusztáv Balla was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.

After a defensive mix-up in Szolnoki MÁV's zone, Junior Ramiro stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ottó Szántó came out of the goal and Junior Ramiro tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.

In the 40th minute, Nico Paz ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Ottó Szántó was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-6.

Agustín Ruberto received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 59th minute. Ottó Szántó tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Agustín Ruberto had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Garaona Alfeiran made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Patrik Almási in the 71st minute of play. Garaona Alfeiran showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Tobias Balesio, who was totally free with the ball in the 73rd minute.
