The audience thought a goal was coming when Kajetan Wolniewicz got free with Arvin Björkman in the 9th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. If Bernt Fredriksson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 11th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Arvin Björkman took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Diogo Calado, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 24 minutes into the match, Aston Villa F.C's goal looked a bit too open when Bernt Fredriksson came free, but Duda Berger reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 26 minutes, Bernt Fredriksson made it 0-1 with a short kick to the right side. Aston Villa F.C's Duda Berger tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. 30 minutes into the match, The Mongols's Bernt Fredriksson sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Duda Berger narrowly saved just below the crossbar. 31 minutes into the match, Bernt Fredriksson had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Duda Berger.

After a rather tough play, Aston Villa F.C's Ernani Ribeiro got a free kick in the 42nd minute. 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.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Abbe Muçollari made a kick off. The Mongols's Arvin Björkman played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Mathias Freire in the 51st minute of play.

In the 69th match minute, The Mongols was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Gunde Svan to maneuver through the defense. The audience was convinced that Mathias Freire's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Arvin Björkman was relentless in the 71st minute of the game.

Isak Gustafsson was slow to take the kick. During this time The Mongols's players had a chance to rest. The supporters of The Mongols booed when Aston Villa F.C was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 92 match minutes in a wonderful position. Nico Itajaí didn't get a good kick on the ball. Isak Gustafsson, 93 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. The The Mongols players were the happier at the end of the match as they had prevented Aston Villa F.C from taking control. The game ends in a draw.
