After having played for 4 minutes, Aleks Vaskov managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

After 20 minutes of play, Бенковски Тетевен's Denílson 慕容 made it 2-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

The referee showed Heitor Leys the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. 43 minutes into the game, one of AFC Irocha:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty.
