Spectators: 7713 (Terracing: 5786, Seating: 1774, VIP seats: 153) 4 minutes had been played when some careless play by Odważni's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Jackson Busnel was slow to take the kick. During this time Lunar Park's players had a chance to rest. Piotr Noworolnik showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from 盛世 Paolini in the 8th minute of the match. Pau Doku might have been able to make a better finish in the 10th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Vachon Sánchez. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Pau Doku ran back to his position shaking his head. Ben West hit a great freekick 15 minutes into the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jackson Busnel in the 16th minute of play forced Odważni's goalkeeper Piotr Noworolnik to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 21st minute of the match, Pau Doku got a very nice opportunity to score, but Vachon Sánchez was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. The supporters of Odważni booed when Lunar Park was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 23 match minutes in a wonderful position. Richard Leone didn't get a good kick on the ball.

With a couple of smart ball manuevers 盛世 Paolini in the 39th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Piotr Noworolnik saved Odważni from getting behind. In the 41st minute Jackson Busnel shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Piotr Noworolnik saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 42nd minute, Pau Doku fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Vachon Sánchez, passed just outside the right post. Piotr Noworolnik made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Jackson Busnel in the 44th minute of play. The Odważni players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Lunar Park were winning 0-2.

After a defensive mix-up in Odważni's zone, 盛世 Paolini stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Piotr Noworolnik came out of the goal and 盛世 Paolini tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 56th minute 盛世 Paolini shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Piotr Noworolnik saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 62 minutes into the match, Odważni's goalkeeper Piotr Noworolnik had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by 盛世 Paolini. If 盛世 Paolini had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 67th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. With a little luck, Odważni's Piotr Noworolnik got control of the ball when 盛世 Paolini tried to sneak it across the goal line. Pau Doku kicked well hit freekick during the 70th minute of the match. 盛世 Paolini received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Piotr Noworolnik came out and tried to block the shot, but 盛世 Paolini slotted it home off the left post making it 0-4 in the 73rd minute. 盛世 Paolini scored 0-5 in the 83rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Piotr Noworolnik, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 91st minute the ball was on its way in behind Odważni's goalkeeper Piotr Noworolnik, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Lunar Park walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
