Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Yaseen Al Ateqi started the match with the kick off. In the 4th minute Carapa FC were awarded a corner. Teofilo Gonzalez went to the cornerflag to take it. Carapa FC's Teofilo Gonzalez was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Ghazi Al Adsani in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Braulio Manny made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Yaseen Al Ateqi in the 7th minute of play. 8 minutes into the game, Kong Liang Wen cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-0. Ghazi Al Adsani was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After having played for 11 minutes, Teofilo Gonzalez managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Carapa FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Teofilo Gonzalez was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. With a little luck, U21 Saudi Arabia's Ghazi Al Adsani got control of the ball when Kong Liang Wen tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 16th minute of the match Carapa FC got a corner. U21 Saudi Arabia's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Teofilo Gonzalez ran over to the corner to take the kick. Ghazi Al Adsani didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Lucas Ugutz went, in the 20th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-0 was the resulting score. Ghazi Al Adsani was out of position in the 23 minute of play, and Lucas Ugutz capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Lucas Ugutz really showed his touch with that goal: 4-0. Kong Liang Wen scored 5-0 in the 28th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Ghazi Al Adsani, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Lázaro Ramone was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 31st minute. Carapa FC's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Lucas Ugutz hit a great freekick 33 minutes into the match. If Kong Liang Wen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 36th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ghazi Al Adsani made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Lucas Ugutz in the 40th minute of play. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 5-0 at half-time.

After some fancy dribbling in the 71st minute, Lucas Ugutz managed to get in a good position for a shot. Carapa FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Lucas Ugutz was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ghazi Al Adsani breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Carapa FC made a substitution. Armando Jacob replaced Lucas Ugutz. When Romualdas Motiekaitis fell near the penalty area in the 73rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Carapa FC's protests and gave Romualdas Motiekaitis a yellow card for diving instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Armando Jacob in the 80th minute of play forced U21 Saudi Arabia's goalkeeper Ghazi Al Adsani to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Armando Jacob sent away a hard shot on goal in the 84th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Teofilo Gonzalez ran back to his position shaking his head. U21 Saudi Arabia's Ghazi Al Adsani played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Teofilo Gonzalez in the 86th minute of play. In the 87th minute, U21 Saudi Arabia's Farhan Shamsah seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Farhan Shamsah the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of U21 Saudi Arabia protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Farhan Shamsah had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. Ghazi Al Adsani made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Armando Jacob in the 93rd minute of play.
