Spectators: 7506 (Terracing: 5630, Seating: 1726, VIP seats: 150) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Csaba Tar made the kick off which started today's match. Kaká Bastos charged in rather forcefully in the 2nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Kaká Bastos the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 11th minute, Sebastian Caicedo got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. 14 minutes into the match, Adrian Oces had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Nilmar Brasil. Qijua F.C's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Adrian Oces was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. With an all-out effort, Hogwarts's Nilmar Brasil threw himself towards the right post 19 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Sebastian Caicedo, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Adrian Oces's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Nilmar Brasil firmly grabbed it by the left post. Hogwarts's Texeira Adan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Bixintxo Arbieto in the 25th minute of play. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Bixintxo Arbieto in the 28th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Texeira Adan saved Hogwarts from getting behind. After 32 minutes of play, Hogwarts's Sebastian Caicedo made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Nilmar Brasil was left in no man's land by his defense there! Sebastian Caicedo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 38th minute, Bixintxo Arbieto got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Texeira Adan made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Bixintxo Arbieto in the 40th minute of play. A collision led to Qijua F.C getting a freekick after 44 minutes play. Bixintxo Arbieto hit a great ball.

The wind increased when Bixintxo Arbieto made the kick off in the second half. In the 52nd minute, Sebastian Caicedo made a precise shot to the right of Nilmar Brasil. Qijua F.C's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 3-0. In the 61st minute, Leandro Machado fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Texeira Adan, passed just outside the right post. After a rather tough play, Qijua F.C's Bixintxo Arbieto got a free kick in the 63rd minute. If Sebastian Caicedo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Bixintxo Arbieto fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 75th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Texeira Adan having to interfere. The supporters of Qijua F.C booed when Hogwarts was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 76 match minutes in a wonderful position. Tercero Moraina didn't get a good kick on the ball. Qijua F.C's Nilmar Brasil played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Adrian Oces in the 78th minute of play. If Leandro Machado had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Qijua F.C's Nilmar Brasil played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tercero Moraina in the 86th minute of play. Anselmo Genovese kicked well hit freekick during the 87th minute of the match. After a defensive mix-up in Hogwarts's zone, Laerte de Castro stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Texeira Adan came out of the goal and Laerte de Castro tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Hogwarts fans cheered their team off the field, for while Qijua F.C had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
