Spectators: 39 (Terracing: 30, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Bartolo Paublo got the match started through his kick off. Patrick Armstrong made a fantastic save in the 4th minute, when Agustin Elorri sent off a good shot on target. Rolando Sanchez took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Peter Linkhorst, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Agustin Elorri kicked well hit freekick during the 9th minute of the match. After a rather tough play, ManagerZone Crew's Thorsten Dietz got a free kick in the 11th minute. Anderson Schulle hit a great freekick 12 minutes into the match. Bartolo Paublo took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 13th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Patrick Armstrong. ManagerZone Crew's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Thorbjörn Olerius sent away a hard shot on goal in the 18th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Bartolo Paublo was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 20th minute. Sutura's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. When Bartolo Paublo came up free with the goalie in the 20th minute, the Sutura 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 Bartolo Paublo couldn't finish the play. If Robert Ununger had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Rolando Sanchez took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Adrian Våleman, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Robert Ununger struck a weak shot in the 26th minute. Rolando Sanchez didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for ManagerZone Crew. In the 28th minute Peter Linkhorst shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rolando Sanchez saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A collision led to ManagerZone Crew getting a freekick after 29 minutes play. Adrian Våleman hit a great ball. The audience thought a goal was coming when Bartolo Paublo got free with Patrick Armstrong in the 31st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 32nd minute, Sutura's Abel Gonza dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-0. Rolando Sanchez made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Robert Ununger in the 39th minute of play.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Peter Linkhorst made a kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Robert Ununger in the 53rd minute of play forced Sutura's goalkeeper Rolando Sanchez to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. With a little luck, Sutura's Rolando Sanchez got control of the ball when Peter Linkhorst tried to sneak it across the goal line. Bartolo Paublo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 62nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Andreas Sjöstrand hit a great freekick 64 minutes into the match. After recieving a nice pass, Sutura's Bartolo Paublo tried to score from far away in the 65th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. Rolando Sanchez showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Peter Linkhorst, who was totally free with the ball in the 71st minute. The attack was good, but when Peter Linkhorst in the 76th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. A collision led to ManagerZone Crew getting a freekick after 79 minutes play. Adrian Rosario hit a great ball. The supporters of Sutura booed when ManagerZone Crew was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 80 match minutes in a wonderful position. Thorsten Dietz didn't get a good kick on the ball. Bartolo Paublo was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 81st played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. After having played for 83 minutes, Peter Linkhorst managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. ManagerZone Crew's supporters crossed their fingers, but Peter Linkhorst was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 85th minute, Robert Ununger managed to get in a good position for a shot. ManagerZone Crew's supporters rose to their feet, but Robert Ununger was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Rolando Sanchez breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. An unexpectedly hard shot by Peter Linkhorst in the 91st minute of play forced Sutura's goalkeeper Rolando Sanchez to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 95 minutes into the game, Abel Gonza cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-0. Patrick Armstrong was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. ManagerZone Crew's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
