Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Gustaf Högström got the match started through his kick off. After 5 minutes of play, Cercadinho's Niceto Gagriel made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

With a little luck, Cercadinho's Dong got control of the ball when Isac Walmarsson tried to sneak it across the goal line. 12 minutes into the match, Carolo Urki had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Niklas Kvalfält. Newcastle United F.C.'s manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Carolo Urki was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. An unexpectedly hard shot by Niceto Gagriel in the 16th minute of play forced Newcastle United F.C.'s goalkeeper Niklas Kvalfält to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a rather tough play, Cercadinho's Everton Ribeiro got a free kick in the 21st minute. Niceto Gagriel recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 23rd minute.

Cercadinho's attentive Luiz Guilherme Araújo managed to snatch the ball when Bengt-Åke Ekerot made a throw-in in the 45th minute of the game. If Niceto Gagriel had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 46th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Niceto Gagriel sent away a hard shot on goal in the 69th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
